The first step in the undergraduate research process, typically, is to find a faculty member whose team or lab you can work with and contribute to. After finding a mentor, work with them to propose a project and design your methodology. Once you have an idea of what your project will be, writing a brief abstract will help to describe your project and your goals to others for funding and conference applications.
Having a good idea is only one part of the equation in research. Having the funds to carry out the work is another very important element of the equation. Here are resources to help you get started.
