The Maryland Student Researchers (MSR) program is a database of on-campus research opportunities for undergraduates. It is designed to help undergraduates find research opportunities and to help faculty members find research assistants. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of research opportunities available at the University of Maryland. Almost all professors engage in research, and individual departments' websites will provide a more comprehensive list.
To search for fall or spring semester MSR opportunities mentored by a professor or other professional University researcher, use the search box below. Opportunities are updated each August (prior to fall semester) and January (prior to spring semester).
For Faculty: Submit a Maryland Student Researchers Opportunity. Please note that you will need to enter your UMD user ID and password in order to access the form. If access is denied, close out of the page and try again. Please also note that MCUR no longer issues transcript notations for students who participate in MSR opportunities.
We recommend that you review carefully the advice provided on our Beginning Research page as you begin searching for MSR opportunities, and before you contact faculty to apply for a posted opportunity.
Have a great semester! If you have any questions during the semester, feel free to contact the Maryland Center for Undergraduate Research at ugresearch@umd.edu
