The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) is a competitive grants program designed to financially support faculty-mentored research, creative, and other scholarly activities undertaken by undergraduates at CU Denver and CU AMC. As such, UROP provides an opportunity for students to extend learning beyond the traditional classroom, laboratory, and studio. New this year, UROP Mini-Grants provide an alternative to the UROP Full Grants that are administered each spring by the Office of Undergraduate Experiences. This spring, UROP expects to award approximately 20 mini grant awards of up to $500, and 25 full grant awards up to $3,600 for the 2017-2018 academic year (depending upon applications received). For in-depth application materials (including requirements), please visit the UROP main page at: http://www.ucdenver.edu/student-services/resources/ue/urca/Pages/UROP.aspx
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
