The Undergraduate Research Fellowship (URF) program provides support for specific scholarly research projects conducted by full-time UT undergraduate students enrolled in any department. These fellowships are intended to cover costs associated with academic research projects proposed and written by student applicants and undertaken with the supervision of a university tenured or tenure-track faculty member, lecturer, senior lecturer or full-time research scientist/engineer.

University tenured, tenure-track, non-tenure track faculty members or full-time research staff members may supervise undergraduate students in independent research projects. BDP students: If you are planning to do a research connecting experience this fall and will have expenses related to your research, please consider applying for a URF to help finance your research.
