Our Mentor Award recognizes campus individuals supporting undergraduates on research and creative projects, regardless of UROP funding.
Tenured/tenure-track research faculty, teaching faculty, postdocs and graduate students at the University of Colorado Boulder and Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible for UROP's Mentor Award. Students are invited to nominate their mentors regardless of program funding, and we welcome submissions from early-stage researchers and creative practitioners.
Award recipients will have the option to award an Assistantship to an eligible undergraduate of their choosing in the next academic year.
1,000 word maximum: Explain how your mentor has excelled in the following:
Group Nominations
Students are able to submit group nominations by including a list of additional contributors on the form.
Summer Projects
Students can nominate their mentors based on their experiences in the summer grant term by submitting nominations any time before the spring deadline, though decisions won't be sent until late in the spring semester.
UROP Mentor Award nominations are due by 5:00 pm MST on April 3, 2026, and decisions will be sent later in April 2026.
