Faculty Project Database

Online Project Database

• Faculty can post projects if they are interested in having students work with them on research projects.
  • Students are eligible for UGAR funding to work on projects not listed in the database
• Projects posted in the database should provide students with meaningful faculty-mentored research experiences.
  • Faculty seeking hourly workers should do so via the Student Employment Office.
• Students can search the database and then contact faculty whose projects are of interest.
• Posting a project in the database does not imply that the project is currently available or that there is funding available.

• Project descriptions should describe the research but not be overly technical or use jargon or acronyms without explanations.
• The description should identify the role of the student, the skills and knowledge to be developed, and the qualifications (or lack of) required.
• Projects need not be contained within an academic term. Many projects are "works in progress" as part of a larger research effort.

• Log in using your Dartmouth Net ID and password (if you do not know your Dartmouth Net ID, you may look it up here).
• In the top right corner click the tab called "My Projects." All project review and editing are accessed by clicking the "My Projects" link.
• If you do not have a "My Projects" tab, contact UGAR and request to be added to the Undergraduate Research Projects Database. Please include your Net ID in that email (HBs and phone numbers are pulled directly from the DND). 
• If you do not meet the criteria for eligibility to supervise undergraduates in research (e.g. postdoctoral fellows, adjunct faculty), UGAR will need approval from the relevant dean or department chair before giving you access to post projects in the database.

• Click “New Project Draft.”
• Enter project information in the fields provided (please remember to enter your Department, Division, Project Title and Description).

• Click “edit” to continue editing the project information.
• Click “Submit for Review” to submit the project. (Once a project is submitted for review, it cannot be accessed or edited until it has been reviewed by the Undergraduate Research Office).
