The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) was awarded the Nevada Commission on Mentoring (NCOM) FY 2024-25 Micro-grant for the project, "Expanding Research Peer Mentorship in non-STEM Academic Disciplines.” The funds, acquired by Rafael Oganesyan, OUR Program Manager and PI, will be used to support OUR’s Peer Mentor Program. 

OUR’s Peer Mentor program pairs incoming UNLV students with experienced undergraduate researchers. Mentors assist mentees in learning and navigating through UNLV’s research ecosystem as well as provide support in their personal and professional growth and development. 

NCOM was established to support and facilitate mentorship programs in the state of Nevada and to work in consultation with the Nevada Department of Education to provide direction and guidance to the State Coordinator for mentorship programs.
