UR2PhD Opportunities and Upcoming Deadlines

Undergraduates are eligible for: Undergraduate Research Training Course, REU Applications for the Summer 2026 Are Open, DREU Applications Are Open  

Graduate students are eligible for: Graduate Student Mentor Training Course 

Spring Course Applications Are Open 

In the spring of 2026, our team will be offering both our Graduate Student Mentor Training Course and our Undergraduate Research Training Course.  

  • The Graduate Student Mentor Training Course is for students serving as mentors to undergraduate researchers. The aim of this course is to equip students with the knowledge and technical skills they need to communicate effectively with undergraduates. Students must be willing and able to attend the synchronous course sessions. Applications close on January 28, 2026. 
  • The Undergraduate Research Training Course is intended for new researchers, or students with limited experience who are interested in building their foundational understanding of research. To participate, students must be working in groups of 2-4 on the same research project with the same research mentor. Students must also be able to attend the same course section. Applications close on February 5, 2026.

 REU Applications for the Summer 2026 Are Open

UR2PhD strives not only to prepare students for participating in research, but to encourage them to continue to explore research opportunities. As such, our team has earmarked funds for summer research experiences. 

 

Students who have successfully completed the Research Training Course or the Pre-Research Experience Course and who have identified a research project/mentor for the summer are eligible to apply. Students who will take the spring iteration of the course will also be considered, but all approved funding is contingent upon successful course completion. 

 

Students selected for funding will be able to earn $8,000 for a 400-hour experience. Students will be expected to submit four milestones to receive funding. 

 

Applications are currently open and will be accepted through February 28, 2025
