Faculty Mentor Resources
Welcome
The Office of Undergraduate Research is committed to offering support to faculty mentors. Faculty mentors serve as an integral part of undergraduate students' research experience. On this webpage, please find mentoring guidelines, infographics, and resources to aide you in mentoring.
Submit Your Research Mentorship Impact and Be Recoginized
We appreciate all that our faculty do and the time they dedicate to mentoring our undergraduate student researchers. We want to recognize our faculty who take the time to contribute to research mentoring.
By submitting a mentorship form, faculty can receive an official document* from the Office of Undergraduate Rearch that states how many students they mentored and recognizes their impact as faculty mentors.
For any questions, please contact OUR Director Dr. Ever Barraza (edbarraza@cpp.edu)
*Please note that this document will be sent to faculty at the end of the term that they submitted the form.
Yearly Mentor Funding Opportunities
RSCA Mini Grant
The RSCA Mini Grant is an internal seed funding program administered by the Office of Research, Innovation and Economic Development through internal competitions. The goal is to support faculty research, scholarship and creative activities so that they may be able to generate early data for developing competitive proposals for external funding.
RSCA 2025-26 funding is provided by the Chancellor's Office to support faculty scholarship.
Deadline: February of each year
Provost's Teacher-Scholar Award

The Teacher-Scholar award is sent out each year to faculty via email from their departments. For questions about the award, please email your department head.
