Information about the undergraduate research database
For faculty and staff
The Center of Research Services established a database to track undergraduate research projects conducted at UAF since 2004. Student data is collected and entered by research or academic unit where the project is housed. All faculty and staff must report undergraduate research activities for entry in this database to individual contacts in their units. Contacts are:
ARSC: Oralee Nudson
CEM: Sandra Boatwright
CLA: Patti Carey
CNSM: Pauline Thomas
Rasmuson Library: Linda Levy
EPSCoR: Pips Veazey
GI: Deby Chapman
Graduate School: fygrdean@uaf.edu
IAB: Marie Gilbert
IARC: Vicky Zins
IMS: Katie Murra
INBRE: Teresa Lyons
INE: Sandra Boatwright
Geography: Cynthia Steiner
Museum: Kerynn Fisher
SFOS: Katie Murra
SNRAS: Marilyn Childress
If your unit is not listed here, please send activities to Jenn Wagaman, research outreach coordinator.
For database contacts
Please review your unit's database information and provide any corrections or updates.
Log on instructions for contacts:
1) Go to the undergraduate research database web page.
2) Click on the "log in" button on the right hand side of the page
3) Once at that page, either log in using your username and password or select "register for an account" to register as a new user. You'll need a key to enter data. Contact Jenn Wagaman at 474-5082 for that information.

This website is used to promote research at UAF. Thank you and please contact us if you have any questions.
TIPS FOR ENTERING AND UPDATING DATA
-Once you've logged into the database, use the search field to determine if the data you are entering already has an existing record. To do this, use the search field for students, faculty or projects on the bottom right of the screen.
-If there is no existing record, create a new record by selecting "new" under the appropriate heading (people, projects or funding sources) on the right side of the screen.
-A faculty record for the faculty associated with a project must already exist in order to enter a project into the database, as this is a required field. Enter the faculty member under the “people” section before entering a new project if a record does not already exist for the faculty member.
-The degree field is required in student entries. The major field may be left blank, although please make every effort to provide a thorough record.
-To enter a project, select “new” under the project heading on the right side of the screen. Enter the information including project name, description, funding source, amount of funding and faculty. Select a faculty member from the options provided as you type. Note that you cannot save a project without a faculty record.
-When you enter student information, you will again have the opportunity to select the student as you type in the information. This will prompt a request for additional information including type of work performed, academic rank, whether or not credit was received, and whether the research resulted in a publication or a presentation. You can also include a website and the semesters the research was conducted in this section.
-At any time, you can log in and correct data entered.
