Welcome to ICRU!
The Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates (ICRU), a unit of the University of Iowa Office of the Vice President for Research, promotes undergraduate involvement in research and creative projects at the University of Iowa. We work with students, faculty, and staff from the arts, humanities, natural/physical sciences, social sciences, health and medicine, engineering, and business. If you are a student or faculty member looking to get involved or you are already involved with undergraduate research, you have come to the right place!
