Brown does well with research. I don’t know of a single person who wanted research badly enough to ask professors about it in their 3rd semester without having something secured by 4th.

the most common summer grant, the UTRA, requires that you be doing research that is unique/that you helped design, so a professor can’t use it as a means of getting free lab techs. And mostly, professors seem to WANT students doing meaningful work, though there are a some grunt-ish research jobs available.
