Faculty Mentors & Grant Support
A thriving undergraduate research environment depends on two key elements: a scholarly faculty and a commitment to mentoring students as research partners. We invite faculty to explore our available resources and submit your student research opportunities using Aggie Research Connect, our research opportunity platform for connect faculty mentors and student researchers. See below for detailed information about Aggie Research Connect.
Aggie Research Connect is a centralized platform for collecting faculty research opportunities, sharing them with undergraduate or graduate students, and routing student applications to faculty mentors. We encourage you to submit your research opportunities for students to consider. Don’t have funding? Don’t worry, we have countless students who are eager for research experiences and are willing to volunteer.
If you have a grant proposal that you are working on that includes undergraduate researchers, CUGR is eager to connect to provide support. Please contact Dr. Jared Webb, jnwebb@ncat.edu, 336-285-4425.
Faculty research and scholarship forms the foundation of impactful undergraduate research. For students to gain the full benefit of these experiences, it is vital that faculty are active and current in their disciplines. Institutions that embrace a teacher-scholar model—where teaching excellence and ongoing peer-recognized scholarship are both valued—provide a strong framework for undergraduate research to flourish.
At NC A&T, we recognize that engaging undergraduates in research is most meaningful when guided by faculty who are themselves creators of new knowledge, innovation, and creative works.
