Midshipman Research
Conducting research as an undergraduate can be a rewarding and educational experience. At the Naval Academy, faculty members with expertise in many areas mentor midshipmen and facilitate their development as scientists, engineers, or scholars. Funding for midshipmen projects and travel is provided through several sources, including the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
