Undergraduate Research Centers
The Undergraduate Research Centers (URC) assist students in science, engineering, and mathematics (URC Sciences, 2121 Life Sciences) by supporting scholarly, critical, and creative research. The centers offer mentoring and tutorials, manage the Student Research Program (SRP), and administer summer research programs, academic year research programs, research stipends, and scholarships.
- Student Research Program (SRP)
- Administered by the URC, the SRP offers undergraduates the opportunity to become involved in the UCLA research community. Working with faculty members on research projects, SRP students gain valuable research training and experience.
- Undergraduate Research Fellows Program (URFP)
- The URFP is available on a competitive basis and by application for undergraduate students seeking entry-level research experience. Funded students typically participate in two terms of research (winter and spring quarters) through SRP.
- Undergraduate Research Scholars Program (URSP)
- The URSP offers scholarships from foundations, industry, and individual donors to continuing students (junior-level standing and higher). Applicants must have a strong commitment to research and must complete an honors thesis or a comprehensive independent studies project during the senior year.
