Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate Research Directors
The Undergraduate Research Initiative, made possible by the Florida High Tech Corridor, supports meaningful research experiences for USF undergraduate students. Each USF college may request up to $10,000 from the Florida High Tech Corridor to provide new and expanded research opportunities for their undergraduate students. This program is intentionally flexible, allowing each college to design a program that best serves their students and existing administrative structures, from scholarships focused on community-engaged research to paid summer research opportunities.
