Welcome, Prospective SROP Fellow!

The University of Michigan Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) offers outstanding undergraduates underrepresented in their field of study the opportunity to conduct intensive research across a variety of disciplines. The goal is to prepare students for advanced studies in a Ph.D. program at U-M.

SROP allows undergraduates the opportunity to work on graduate level research projects with faculty. Students work with faculty mentors either on an individual basis or as part of a research team. Research teams may also include graduate students, research scientists, and other SROP students.

In addition, all participants engage in a series of academic, professional, and personal development seminars. Participants present their research at a concluding CIC-SROP conference and a U-M symposium. A central goal of the program is that participants develop realistic groundwork for advanced study, helping them prepare for graduate degrees at U-M. Another outcome is that students build professional and personal networks that support their interest in joining the academic research community.

SROP participants are expected to participate full-time from June 1 through July 30, 2010. Participants may not enroll for classes, concurrent summer programs, or hold other employment during the period of the program. SROP is held on the U-M’s Ann Arbor campus.

The Summer Research Opportunity Program was initiated in 1986 by the Graduate Deans of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) to encourage talented undergraduate students to pursue graduate study, and subsequently, academic careers.
