The Office of Student Research encourages students to pursue funded opportunities to conduct research and engage in creative scholarship. On the following pages, we list internally funded opportunities, offered by Roosevelt, as well as a guide to external opportunities, offered by other schools, foundations, and national agencies.

The Office of Student Research (OSR) offers financial and academic support to help students interested in developing and executing research and mission-related creative and scholarly projects. OSR initiatives support students at each stage of the research process, from connecting with mentors and securing funding, to gaining research skills, to sharing results with the Roosevelt University community and beyond. The OSR also provides professional development, graduate school preparation resources, and information on nationally competitive summer programs and fellowships.

There are multiple programs on campus that offer students funding related to research and inquiry activities. Honors students should explore research opportunities in the Honors Program. Contact the McNair Scholars Program to learn if you are eligible to participate in this federally-funded program offering research, mentorship, and graduate school preparation resources. Performing arts students should look at the Center for Arts Leadership.
