Provost Summer Research Fellowships

Research offers an excellent opportunity for professional development in many fields of interest at NJIT. It gives an individual the ability to think on their own and handle open-ended problems. It also gives them the discipline to take a problem towards its solution. As a student-centered research institution, NJIT is committed to providing opportunities for research participation beginning at the undergraduate level. We invite undergraduates from across the campus to explore a research topic of interest, under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

2023 Update Call for Proposals for the 2023 Provost Undergraduate Research and Innovation (URI) Summer Fellowship can be found here.
