Undergraduate Research Instructor Resources

This guide collects resources for faculty/instructors, administrators, and others interested in developing undergraduate research experiences.

Welcome

This guide will help UNM instructors connect with content and services to support integrating undergraduate research (UGR) experiences into their curriculum. 

Guide contributors' ongoing work curates an extensive list of UGR resources organized around relevant topic areas to build foundational understanding, provide context, inform planning, and ease the transition to implementing UGR. These resources include research articles, books, selected journals, and other types (e.g., government or nonprofit reports). The "In the Classroom" sections highlight hands-on, practical tools, such as lesson plans, sample assignments, and more. Additionally, some resources speak to the specific opportunities and challenges of particular domains or disciplines. Because of significant overlap, some resources appear may appear in more than one topic/disciplinary area.

This guide will continue develop over time coinciding with the work of the UNM Provost Challenge for Excellence and Equity General Education Initiatives.
