Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP)The University of MichiganFawwaz T. UlabyIn the eleven years since UROP was launched to improve undergraduate education and minority student retention and academic achievement, it has evolved from serving 14 students to more than 850 first- and second-year students each year. The centerpiece of this innovative program is the creation of research partnerships between first- and second-year students and faculty researchers. UROP has been successful in its mission to weave minority students into the fabric of the campus community at an early point in their academic careers. To date, some 4,000 students have participated in UROP; more than 2,100 have been students of color. Success indicators include an attrition rate lower than that for university-wide underrepresented students and a mean Grade Point Average 6% higher than that of students in a matched control group.

本科生研究机会计划(UROP)密歇根大学法瓦兹·T·乌拉布大学本科生研究机会计划(UROP)自推出以来的11年里，旨在改善本科教育和少数族裔学生的保留率和学术成就，它已经从每年服务14名学生发展到每年超过850名一年级和二年级学生。这个创新项目的核心是在一年级和二年级的学生和教师研究人员之间建立研究伙伴关系。UROP成功地完成了其使命，在少数族裔学生的学术生涯早期就将他们融入校园社区的结构中。到目前为止，大约有4000名学生参加了UROP；超过2100名学生是有色人种学生。成功指标包括流失率低于全校代表性不足学生的流失率，平均绩点比匹配对照组的学生高6%。
