Funding for Faculty Mentors

OURS provides a number of programs and services to both students and faculty. Although we are best known for our Scholar & Fellowship Programs, we also provide direct support for faculty.


Additional Resources for Faculty Mentors

OURS has compiled a number of resources (below) for faculty to utilize as they begin, and continue, to conduct research with undergraduate students. OURS also provides consultations with faculty to develop a plan to engage undergraduate students in aspects of the faculty member’s scholarship. These consultations may include discussions about funding for materials and supplies, designing a research program inclusive of undergraduate students, best practices for mentorship, or writing an external grant supportive of undergraduate students.

OURS Will Come to You!

OURS staff and Student Ambassadors are ready to present to your class or faculty meeting. See the details on the OURS Presentation Requests page.
