About
UROP Funding
When you
do not have
the funds
to offer financial
support to
your students,
UROP has a
limited amount
of funding
available
to support
research during
the academic
year and over
the summer
(IAP is not
a UROP funding
period). This
Direct Funding
process is
competitive;
deadlines must be met
for full consideration.
When students
apply for
Direct Funding,
they may request
stipends of
up to $1,300
for an academic
term and $4,400
for a summer
(both paid
at $9.25/hr).
Students and
your department's
UROP payroll
coordinator
are expected
to monitor
the expenditure
of UROP-awarded
funds.
Students
are not expected
to put in
overtime hours
on UROP. Work
beyond 40
hours is automatically
paid as overtime,
but because
UROP funds
are limited
and cannot
support overtime
charges, summer
UROPers should
not work beyond
40 hours per
week.
A limited
amount of
money is available
for lab supplies,
conference
fees, small
equipment,
photocopying,
and other
items used
solely for
UROP research.
To request
funding for
such items,
students must
submit a UROP Direct Funding application that includes a detailed list of
requested
materials
and services
by the applicable Direct
Funding deadline to
be eligible
for consideration.
(See the UROP
for Pay section
for additional
details).
NOTE: Cambridge-MIT
Exchange
(CME) students
and Wellesley
College
students are
not eligible
to receive
Direct UROP
Funding.
Please contact
UROP staff
at urop@mit.edu with
any questions
regarding
alternate
funding
sources
for these
students.
