UT Austin Research Mentorship and Apprenticeship Program
The Research Mentorship and Apprenticeship Program (Research-MAP) at The University of Texas at Austin is designed to enhance access to undergraduate research opportunities, particularly for first-time researchers, underrepresented students, and those facing financial barriers. The program offers professional development, research presentation experience, and funding to support students as research assistants. Research-MAP provides a cohort of 10–15 students with professional development and research presentation experience, funding to support their activity as research assistants, and assistance connecting with a faculty mentor if they do not already have one. The program is a collaboration between the Natural Sciences Council and the Office of Undergraduate Research, with sponsorship from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Eligibility Requirements
- First-time undergraduate researchers, underrepresented students and majors, and students with financial barriers to participating in research.
- Students do not need to already have a research mentor to apply; accepted students without a faculty mentor will be connected with one through the assistance of an OUR advisor.
