UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIPS SMU supports student research at any level through Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URAs = URA AY, URA Summer and SRA). Students build and exercise their training in the pursuit of increasingly substantial research projects. URAs are available to students of all schools and departments. URAs are supported by matching 1:1 with funds available to the mentor, their department or other undergraduate research program. Students and faculty mentors submit a brief application year-round for virtually any topic of interest. Projects proceed on their own self-determined timetables, providing maximum flexibility for students and mentors. NUMBER OF UNIQUE URA AY, URA SUMMER, SRA PROJECTS, AY 04-13 700
