To help guide your UROP project submission, you can view UROP projects from previous years here (you do not submit projects at the link below; you have to use the form below this year). Please refer to the UROP Research Mentor FAQs if you have any questions. 2022-2023 UROP Projects: https://cre.fsu.edu/urop-projects 2021-2022 UROP Projects:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xXghCi683JcbssfYl6UPtxf9mAwDqdtlWk7kmu2B81M/edit?usp=sharing 2020-2021 UROP Projects: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xjcxB3H-Ejmr8HsJp7C5brtQSgMOkUsV/view?usp=sharing 2019-2020 UROP Projects: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fniI_IZjWFi63pnlAYJfE5wdtimxgK28Y5wbzPUWnwA/edit?usp=sharing 2018-2019 UROP Projects: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YsImQOQZr6qotqSiPa4QtHv4UdwqB6pgYOPf2EO44dg/edit?usp=sharing Below you will enter information about your research project. Please note: - UROP is a program for 1st- and 2nd- year and transfer students at FSU. - Students accepted via a competitive admissions process into UROP will have access to the database of UROP projects at the start of the fall semester in late August/early September. - Students interested in working on your project will contact you in the early Fall semester. You may select the students with whom you would like to work. You do NOT have to select a UROP student if you do not find a suitable candidate, so there is no risk to upload a project to the UROP database. - Students have until October 7th to secure a UROP research position. Once you select the UROP student, you have to sign the student's contract form (deadline October 7th). Students will work with you in Fall and subsequent Spring to meet one of the UROP requirements (assistantship). Students typically work between 5 to 10 hours per week on their assistantship, so please keep this in mind while submitting your project. - If you are an FSU faculty/grad student/postdoc/campus partner participating as a UROP mentor, you are eligible to apply for the UROP Materials Grant. Community research mentors are not eligible at this time to receive the UROP Materials Grant. Material grant applications will be accepted in late fall and funds disbursed during the spring semester. -You must complete an evaluation survey in order to help us grade (S/U) the student for Fall and Spring UROP colloquium classes. -Graduate students may serve as the sole PI on a project and do not need to have their research listed under a faculty member's project. -You may submit multiple projects. Please do not submit multiple versions of the same project. If you have any questions, please contact CRE Senior Associate Director, Alicia Batailles, at alicia.batailles@fsu.edu or 850-645-0987.

The UROP Research Mentor Roundtable will take place virtually, on Tuesday, September 3 through Friday, September 6, between 12 and 8 pm each day. This is an opportunity to speak with students directly about your UROP project. If you choose to participate, you will be prompted to schedule a zoom meeting in the next question. If you change your mind about your participation, you will be able to access your project submission and edit your response. If you select "No", "Not participating in the Roundtable" will be displayed on your project profile. You can learn more here. Yes No Roundtable times and Zoom links? Please add the day(s) and time(s) and zoom link(s) for your roundtable meeting(s) between the times of 12 and 8 PM on a day(s) between Tuesday Sept. 3 through Friday, Sept. 6. We recommend scheduling between one and three 30-minute zoom meetings during the timeframe of the UROP Research Mentor Roundtable. Ideally, we envision your zoom meetings starting at the top of the hour (0:00) or half hour (0:30). The goal of the Roundtable is for students to explore and learn about different research projects. This is not an interview opportunity. All students are expected to attend at least one zoom session and review five different projects as part of the UROP Research Mentor Roundtable assignment. Students should not start reaching out until after the UROP Research Mentor Roundtable on September 8 at 8 pm. You can review more detailed information here. Roundtable Information The UROP Research Mentor Roundtable event will occur virtually in early September. This is an opportunity to speak with students directly about your UROP project. In August, we will open a space here to include your zoom meeting links and times for the Roundtable event. We will resend the link to edit your project so you can add roundtable meeting information if you want to participate. Thanks! UROP Program Elements Mentor Handbook, FAQs, and Communication By checking this box I confirm that I have read and understood the UROP Research UROP Research Mentor Handbook as well as the UROP Research Mentor Frequently Asked Questions. The UROP Project I am proposing will be available for both the fall and spring semesters (Oct 7 is the deadline to secure a position and submit the UROP Assistantship compact). Per the Handbook, I plan to meet with the research assistant(s) at least every other week and will create a communication plan with the research assistant(s). UROP Performance Evaluation By checking this box I understand that it is mandatory for me to complete a performance evaluation in the Fall and Spring in order for the CRE to assign the research assistant(s) a grade for the colloquium class. If necessary, the evaluation will be used to help develop an improvement plan for the research assistant(s). Materials Grant By checking this box I understand that I can apply for the UROP Materials Grant once I accept the UROP research assistant(s), sign the contract form, and submit the fall evaluation (late November/early December; deadline TBD) for all of my UROP research assistants. Materials grant applications will be due in the early spring semester and funds disbursed by mid-spring semester. I understand that community research mentors are not eligible to receive the Materials Grant at this time. UROP Poster Presentation By checking this box I understand that it is mandatory that my UROP research assistant(s) present their work at the FSU Undergraduate Research Symposium in the spring (early April). A member of my research team will assist my UROP research assistant(s) with the creation of a poster presentation, and I will review and approve the poster presentation for the FSU Undergraduate Research Symposium. An pdf of the poster and abstract of the project will be shared online via the Symposium program. Faculty Advisor Confirmation By checking this box I am confirming that my Faculty Advisor is aware that I have submitted a UROP Project Proposal and is supportive of me serving as a UROP Research Mentor. Are you interested in attending in a UROP Research Mentor Workshop Series? We have developed a virtual UROP Research Mentor workshop for graduate students! The workshop will cover salient practices that help develop strong and supportive mentoring relationships. Workshops are limited to 30 participants. The summer workshop series has concluded. However, you can also sign up to learn about future offerings here: https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4MUxhWmNHXwKb2K. Thanks!
