Project List

About Project Listings

The Knight Research Scholars Program follows a rolling recruitment model. Research projects may begin accepting team members at any point during the academic year, regardless of how far along into the semester. Projects remain open until the team leader’s desired team size is reached.

Each project listing includes:

  • Description of the research study
  • The semester recruitment will begin
  • The number of available spots for prospective team members
  • Requirements to join as a team member

Undergraduate students should contact the listed team leader directly to ask questions and to apply as a team member.

Once a team leader has filled all available spots, it will be moved to the “Full Teams” section below.

For more information or questions, contact us at knightresearch@ucf.edu.
