OUR Fellowship Programs
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) was built on a mission of addressing the persistent historic underrepresentation of certain groups in academic research. We invite students from those groups to join OUR research cohorts. OUR cohort programs give students the opportunity to conduct research in a supportive and nurturing community that facilitates skill-building, networking, and creativity.
