Maryland Student Researchers / Database of Undergrad Research Opportunities



We're excited to announce a new way to search for research opportunities in the Maryland Student Researchers database:



UMD RO (for 'research opportunities') is a new iPhone app conceived and developed by UMD first-year computer science major Pranav Dulepet - click here for a link to the app store!



The UMD RO app is the easiest way to find undergraduate research opportunities at the University of Maryland, College Park!

- Get a current list of all available projects
- Search for projects with a Google-like search
- Get email notifications for new and updated projects based on your searches
- Save projects that you like
- Filter projects by different fields
- Find helpful resources provided by the Maryland Center for Undergraduate Research

All projects are updated periodically from the Maryland Student Research Database so you will never miss out on the right opportunity.

If you have any questions or feedback about the app, please reach out to info.umdro@gmail.com



Don't have an iPhone? You can always review the web-based Maryland Student Researchers database with nearly 200 available opportunities (more added regularly) by clicking here.



The Maryland Student Researchers (MSR) program is a University-wide database where UMD researchers post research opportunities for undergraduate students. It is a great way for undergraduates to learn about the rewards and challenges of academic research. Nearly 200 projects are available this Fall 2021 with more being added so check back regularly over the next several weeks.



To view a recorded presentation on getting started in undergraduate research, and using our database of opportunities, you can request access to our ELMS resource site for undergraduate research. To gain access click here to complete a brief questionnaire.



The MSR bulletin board is designed to help undergraduates find research opportunities that are a good fit for their interests and qualifications, and to help faculty members find students to assist with their research project(s). The research opportunities posted on the MSR website typically call for students to spend around six hours a week working under the direction of a faculty mentor on that faculty member’s own research. Participating students learn skills and gain valuable experience that will enhance their graduate school and job qualifications. Many positions are for volunteers, some are paid.



ELIGIBILITY: Any student in good academic standing may apply directly for any listed opportunities for which they have the listed required skills. It is open to undergraduates of all majors and disciplines with an interest in research. Many positions are offered on a volunteer basis, and selection of undergraduate researchers is made solely by the faculty members who provide the listed opportunities.
