The UT Student Research Committee, in collaboration with the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Office of Undergraduate Research, is announcing Research Mentorship and Apprenticeship Program applications for 2023-24. Research-MAP increases access to undergrad research on campus by providing research opportunities to first-time undergraduate researchers, underrepresented students and majors, and students with financial barriers to participating in research.

This program is made up of a cohort of 10-15 students, who each participate in paid research assistantships with a faculty mentor. Students in the program will receive up to $2,000 in research assistantship funding in fall 2023 and $2,000 in spring 2024, and will take part in professional development and research presentation events. Students do not need to already have a research mentor to apply for Research-MAP; accepted students without a faculty mentor will be connected with one through the assistance of an OUR advisor.

Faculty who are interested in the program are invited to fill out this non-binding interest form. More information can be found on the OUR web site.

Please pass this along to any students you’d like to encourage to apply. The application deadline is Nov. 7, 2022.
