With support from the Teaching & Learning Transformation Center, OUR developed an open educational resource for students to learn more about undergraduate research, develop basic research skills and competencies, and develop a plan for finding their first research opportunity.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities & Competencies (UROC) open educational resource is a free, open-access resource hosted in Open Learning for University of Maryland students, faculty, and staff. UROC is also publicly available for individuals beyond UMD College Park. 

UROC is available to University of Maryland campus partners to use and integrate into courses, workshops, or programs through the UMD Open Learning platform.
