Are you dreaming of a Summer of Discovery? There are a range of summer research programs and supports available for undergraduate students. You can go to a conference, share your work on campus, or attend a seminar related to your research environment and career. Maybe you want to find a research project related to your interest or discipline here, or anywhere in the nation. Continuing in research over the summer is a valuable way to further build into your skillset, develop professionally, and increase competitiveness for your future career.

Conference Presentation Travel Grant

Apply for a Travel Grant from the Office of Undergraduate Research of up to $500 for travel expenses to present research findings at a regional or national meeting.

Summer Symposium

If you are researching on campus this summer, be sure to present at the 2025 Summer Research Symposium. The Symposium will be held on July 31 in the Hollings Room of the Thomas Cooper Library.

Research and Professional Development Workshops

Summer is a great time to learn essential skills not always available during the school year. Take advantage of virtual and in-person workshops offered by professionals in the field, or take a look at workshops hosted by the OUR on campus in June and July that will be helpful to student researchers.

Summer Research Opportunities

While we all love making Carolina our home, there are both regional and national opportunities for travel that are sure to expose you to different perspectives and provide networking opportunities with colleagues with diverse training.
