Undergraduate Research

Welcome to SUNY Buffalo State's Office of Undergraduate Research. Opened in 2003, our mission is to promote and provide students with a variety of research, scholarly, and creative opportunities in all academic disciplines.

Activities coordinated by the office include an annual student research symposium, a summer research fellowship program, a small grants program to support academic year research, travel support for students presenting/performing at professional meetings and conferences, and faculty development opportunities related to undergraduate research.

Undergraduate research can be an incredibly meaningful and rewarding activity for students and faculty mentors alike. Buffalo State is proud of the ways in which we have been able to support and encourage student participation in research, to showcase the scholarly achievements of Buffalo State students, and to integrate undergraduate research into our curriculum

I'm very proud of the diversity of disciplines, students, and mentors participating in the various undergraduate research programs that we support. Our culture at Buffalo State greatly values faculty members working with students. That kind of broad-based support gives our program its stability, impact, and high level of interest.
