Research Grants

EURēCA! Grants

The EURēCA! Grant Program (formerly UROP) is a competitive grant program managed by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities. EURēCA Grants support original student-driven research, creative, and other scholarly activities under the mentorship of a CU Denver | Anschutz faculty mentor. Grants of $500 are administered each October and February to be used on project supplies, conference and workshop registration, and/or travel costs.

Types of Projects

EURēCA! Grants supports projects across all fields of study and we love to see creative approaches to understanding everyday problems. Recently funded projects include:

• Analyzing the effects of common pesticides on Japanese beetles and bees in the Denver metro area
• Understanding how the use of anthropomorphism, the assignment of human characteristics to animals, creates more impactful storybooks
• Designing a high-speed, vacuum-compatible electric vehicle to take part in the 2019 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition
