How is MRADS Different?
What distinguished MRADS from UROP is that MRADS is a residential experience. This means that you live in a community with other researchers, while completing your research experience. Importantly, Michigan Research and Discovery Scholars (MRADS) is a partner of the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP).
MRADS students participate in UROP research projects and have access to UROP workshops. In addition, MRADS students live together, enroll in two courses together, attend MRADS workshops, and have access to Student Leaders in their residential building.
MRADS has a Spring Research Symposium that is separate from the UROP symposium. UROP is a great option for students looking to participate in research that do not want the live-in requirement.
