Faculty-Mentored Undergraduate Research Fellowship (FMURF)
Latinx Research Center, UC Berkeley
Academic Year 2025-2026
We are excited to jump-start our 2025-2026 Latinx Research Center (LRC) Faculty-Mentored Undergraduate Research Fellowship (FMURF). The program runs from Fall 2025 through Summer 2026, and pairs faculty with undergraduate students advancing research in US Latinx Studies across the liberal arts, sciences, professional schools, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
Throughout the program, faculty mentors will be expected to meet with student fellows on a biweekly basis at a minimum, and student fellows will be expected to assist their faculty mentor on one or more research projects to develop research skills, critical thinking, and intellectual creativity.
At the end of the Spring 2026 semester, faculty-student teams will publicly present their research at the End-of-Academic Year Symposium hosted by the LRC and will be required to submit a 5- page paper or capstone project by Summer 2026.
FMURF is currently in its fifth and final year and has disbursed $550,000.
Below are the AY 2025-2026 FMURF Recipients and their research projects. Click on each project title for a more detailed overview of their research.
