The KIOS Research Center launched UROP, an acronym for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, in 2008. UROP cultivates and supports research partnerships between undergraduate students and KIOS faculty. The purpose of UROP is to involve undergraduate students in cutting-edge research within the KIOS Research Center. The level of involvement can range from being an assistant in experimental research to doing tasks such as development of software or investigating a specific topic. As UROPers, undergraduates are also encouraged to participate in each phase of standard research activity: developing research plans, writing proposals, conducting research, analyzing data and presenting research results in oral and written form. UROP projects take place during the summer, and research can be done with any faculty of the Center.
It is hoped that UROP would benefit students by
- allowing them to participate in exciting research and investigate areas of interest
- enhancing their knowledge of the latest technology
- providing the opportunity to acquire skills through the intellectual process of inquiry
- gaining practical skills and knowledge they eventually apply to careers after graduation or as graduate students
- allowing students and faculty members to interact so as to foster closer ties
- giving them the opportunity to mature professionally
  
This year the following students have succesfully pariticipated in the UROP program:
