At the core of the SROP program is a team of specially trained and highly experienced professors, graduate assistants, and support staff who utilize the most advanced facilities and technology available to perform research at various levels. The University of Utah is a major research I institution. Last summer we had 47 SROP participants doing research in 22 various programs and departments.
Research projects are under individual faculty sponsorship.
Students are encouraged to express an interest in a specific or general area of research. However, the program cannot guarantee that the student will work in a preferred area of research. Faculty mentors and the program director reserve the right to make final research placements. In the most recent National Science Foundation rankings, the University of Utah is ranked 37th out of 550 research universities.
