Student Research
Research opportunities abound at Miami. Each year, more than 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students work with professors on funded research in every college, school and department. It doesn't matter if your passion is art, music, public service, biology, or psychology, we have a research program that will work for you.
Undergraduate Research Programs
First Year Research Experience (FYRE)
FYRE aims to jumpstart student involvement in research and inquiry at the very start of their college experience. Participants explore and engage in undergraduate research experiences, learn about resources on campus related to undergraduate research, and gain experience in team-based exploratory projects under the guidance of research-active faculty.
Doctoral Undergraduate Opportunity Scholarships (DUOS)
The DUOS program pairs one undergraduate and one graduate student who, under the supervision of a faculty member in a Ph.D. granting department, work together on a semester-long research project. Awarded to 11 pairs each year, this scholarship program is designed to bridge the gap between undergraduate and graduate research.
Undergraduate Research Award Program
The Undergraduate Research Award Program provides Miami undergraduates the opportunity to develop a grant application requesting funding to support a faculty-mentored undergraduate research experience. These partnerships encourage discovery, creative pursuits and/or innovative, inquiry-based activity.
Undergraduate Research Forum
This signature event draws hundreds of Miami student researchers who present their work in a three-day series of virtual sessions. Graduate student mentors and staff volunteer their time as moderators to ensure a smooth running of the many concurrent sessions, while the Forum's website serves as a digital repository to host presentation materials, past and present. Open to the public, the site is searchable by research topic/student major, participant names, keywords, STEM, etc.
Undergraduate Summer Scholars (USS)
The USS program's primary goals focus on student-centered learning through mentored research. This nine-week summer program aligns with Miami's focus on offering “active, engaged educational experiences for our undergraduates. Each participating student is required to find an eligible Miami faculty mentor to jointly create the research project and the application. Recipients of this scholarship receive a $2,600 award.
Humanities Research Fellowships and Apprenticeships
There are many opportunities for humanities majors to get involved in independent research in the areas of
history, philosophy, language, literature, culture, and more. Learn more about the available experiences through the Humanities Center who provides support for research, collaborative study, visiting scholars and artists, creative pedagogy, and public engagement.
