One of the greatest opportunities a major research university can offer its undergraduates is the chance to do front-line research in faculty laboratories. Students who engage in research typically see improvements (relative to students who don't do research) not only in their GPA but in their acceptance rates to PhD, medical and law programs.

The Office for Honors, Research and International Study (OHRIS) is here to help you to find, among the many research opportunities inside and outside the university, the program or lab or organization that best suits your interests and ambitions.

Among the resources we provide or support are:

• The EUREKA! database of faculty-sponsored research opportunities.
• Regular Info Sessions on how to get started with undergraduate research.
  
• Undergraduate Research Mailing list - Subscribe to receive information about scholarships, fellowships and research opportunities in the college.
• SURGe - a student group that works to foster a cohesive undergraduate research community here at UT.
  
• The Undergraduate Research Forum - an annual forum for undergraduates to present poster and oral presentations to their student colleagues, to faculty, and to representatives from industry.
