The Summer Research Opportunity Program offers outstanding undergraduates the chance to work closely with faculty in an intensive summer research experience. SROP gives undergraduate students first-hand exposure to the experiences of graduate school and faculty life by placing them with faculty whose work is closely related to their academic interests and career goals.
Students work under faculty mentorship either on an individual basis or as part of a research team.
Research teams may also include graduate students, research scientists, and other SROP students. During the eight-week program, participants master important research skills and contribute to work that is a vital part of the academic research world. D. work at the University of Michigan.
