Peer Research Ambassadors are UConn undergraduates who have engaged in research and creative activity during their undergraduate careers and want to help other UConn undergraduate students get involved.

Peer Research Ambassadors can share their advice, help you navigate the process of getting involved in undergraduate research, and connect you with OUR programs and resources during individual peer advising appointments.

Peer Research Ambassador meetings are available during the fall and spring to current UConn undergraduate students. Please note that Peer Research Ambassadors are not able to assist with preparing applications for OUR funding programs or other grant applications. If you are seeking assistance with preparing an application for funding, please schedule a meeting with an OUR Advisor.

Scheduling an Appointment

Our Peer Research Ambassador meeting request form is currently closed for the fall semester. Requests for meetings will become available on the first day of the spring semester 2026. We do have general advising hours open to meet with an OUR advisor available in Nexus.
