What is CROP?
Campus Research Opportunity Postings - CROP - benefits faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students seeking research assistance as well as undergraduates looking to gain hands-on research experience. The resource provides a central location for faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students to post information on opportunities for undergraduates to conduct research, scholarly, or creative activity and for undergraduates to identify and apply for these positions. Research opportunities may be paid, for credit (i.e. independent study), or volunteer.
