Today is Giving Blue Day—let’s open research doors for more Wolverines!

For 38 years, UROP has helped undergraduate students jump into real research and creative inquiry alongside U‑M faculty, building confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging from day one. Now that UROP is expanding as the Center for Research, Scholarship, and Creative Inquiry, your gift can help scale what works: more student positions, more mentorship and training, and more equitable access to these transformative opportunities.

Research turns curiosity into impact—helping students learn to ask better questions, solve real problems, and create new knowledge that lasts far beyond graduation.
