​The Undergraduate Research Opportunities & Competencies (UROC) open educational resource was designed to provide undergraduate students with the essential skills and tools to take on an undergraduate research opportunity, succeed as a member of a research team, and lead as a peer mentor.

​

UROC is divided into two content areas with seven modules:

  • Research Skills & Competencies 

    • Intro to Undergraduate Research

    • Undergraduate Research Toolkit

    • AI & Information Literacy in Research

    • Taking Action: Finding & Maintaining a Research Experience

    • Research Opportunity Ready: Essential Documents

  • Leading in Undergraduate Research​

    • Building Effective Relationships​

    • Offering Feedback

 

Each module provides an overview of essential research skills and information to prepare students to take on, succeed, and lead in undergraduate research. 

​​While we designed each module to build upon the modules before it, we understand that not all students will need to review each of UROC's pages. We encourage students to pick and choose which UROC modules and pages will be most useful to them. Students who complete all five of UROC's Research Skills & Competencies modules will receive a certificate of completion.

​
