Welcome to the Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR)
What is Undergraduate Research?
At USF, undergraduate research is broadly defined as a project that enables individual students or groups of students to pose or work from a defined research question, apply methods of inquiry to generate findings, and share the findings with others through presentation and publication. Engaging in undergraduate research is transformational and highly beneficial to students, faculty and the greater university community. Many studies show that students involved in undergraduate research achieve higher grades, have a deeper understanding of their chosen discipline and are more competitive for jobs, national awards and admission to graduate and professional school.Engage in Undergraduate Research

Thanks OUR!
The OUR gave me a better idea of the possibilities that are out there and helped me realize my potential. With the help of the OUR, I have recently begun a laboratory research position and I am glad to be working in an environment where I can be a part of the solution.
