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.

Scheduling an Appointment

Meeting requests for the spring semester are currently closed. You may request a meeting with a Peer Research Ambassador in the fall of 2026.

If you’d like support in research advising over the summer, OUR staff are available to meet with undergraduates and you may schedule a meeting with them here.
