<p>hi, is it possible to do research without urop? i'd like to be involved in research, but i'm not in urop, and i was wondering what the best way to find research opportunities is for someone in my situation. thanks</p>
<p>what is urop</p>
<p>Undergraduate</a> Research Opportunity Program, University of Michigan</p>
<p>I to would like to know about research outside the UROP realm.</p>
<p>Either e-mail professors directly, or see if your department sponsors any REU programs (Research Experience for Undergraduates), though usually those are over the summer.</p>
<p>Contact professors, even if you don't know them. They will hook you up with a job, if they need helpers, etc.</p>
<p>UM has a plethora of research opportunities, none of which require you to be part of UROP. I've done a lot of research here and I got involved by simply emailing professors/researchers whose research interested me. You're probably gonna be volunteering if you don't have any prior experience, but you can always work your way up the ladder.</p>
