The Undergraduate Research Partnership
About Us
| The University of Arizona's Undergraduate Research Partnership brings together centralized resources to expand access to undergraduate research (UR), to coordinate outreach and support, to showcase UR talent, to provide training, and to enhance the quality of the UR experience with a focus on equity, inclusion, and cultivating success for all students. This new Undergraduate Research Partnership is a collaboration between the Office of Societal Impact within Research, Innovation, and Impact (RII), and Student Engagement and Career Development (SECD) within the Office of the Provost. |
We offer support to undergraduate students to get involved in undergraduate research and develop their undergraduate research skills; we gather input on the needs of the undergraduate research community; we maintain the undergraduate research website; we consult with researchers on incorporating undergraduate research into grant proposals, and we provide professional development opportunities to faculty and other researchers on increasing undergraduate research experiences by scaffolding research into the curriculum.
In the future, we plan to track the number of undergraduates participating in research; to provide inclusive mentor trainings to research mentors; and to provide funding for undergraduate research projects and conference travel.
The administrative team includes the Director of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry from the Office of Societal Impact, the Program Manager for Undergraduate Research Initiatives from Student Engagement and Career Development, and the Program Coordinator for Undergraduate Research and Special Projects.
