WELCOME
The Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research provides resources and financial support for the research, scholarly, and creative projects of UNH students. One-hundred percent of the funding for research awards and fellowships comes from donor gifts.
COVID-19 UPDATE: The Hamel Center will plan to continue undergraduate research programs where possible, dependent on the University’s mode of operation at any given time, and also on the University’s phased approach to research activities as determined by the Senior Vice Provost for Research. 1) When preparing applications, students should consult the UNH and Hamel Center websites frequently for any updates or changes. 2) Even if an application is successful, students and mentors should be prepared to modify their projects as needed to adhere to changing University research policies and procedures during the proposed research period. Any project’s ability to go forward will be dependent on the University’s mode of operation and the SVPR’s guidelines for research at any time during the research period.
