Each spring, we invite UROP students to nominate research mentors who have demonstrated exceptional guidance and teaching in a research setting. In addition to faculty, nominees may include instructors, lecturers, graduate students and other research affiliates, who provided UROP supervision anytime between the summer and spring of the given academic year.  

See the list of Outstanding UROP Mentor Award Recipients for prior year awardees.

Nominations are now being accepted for mentors with whom you have collaborated anytime between the Spring 2024 and Spring 2025 terms.

Please submit your nomination form by 5pm on Tuesday, April 1.

Nominations can be based on a variety of factors, including:

• Quality of mentorship, supervision, and support;
• Availability to students;
• Guidance in research;
• Overall commitment to undergraduate research.
