August 20, 2024 - Marissa Lucero
This year’s recipients of the UNM Faculty Mentored Research Award (FMRA) focused on research that evaluates strategies for promoting student success at UNM.
The FMRA is awarded annually by UNM’s Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) and the Undergraduate Research, Arts and Design Network (URAD). Awardees must demonstrate a strong research partnership between a faculty mentor and their student mentee(s). In addition to quality of research and research outcomes, this award recognizes successes in developing a collaborative relationship and prioritizes aspects of the research process that contribute to professional growth of the student.
This year, OVPR and URAD leadership selected two sets of winning teams:
- Assistant Professor Anjali Mulchandani | Kamryn Zachek
- Jake Greenberg, Ph.D. | Solomon Gbara | Audrey Lee
Assistant Professor Anjali Mulchandani – who directs the Water Science Communication Fellowship – partnered with Economics and Philosophy major Kamryn Zachek to conduct a mentored research project that evaluates the outcomes of the fellowship.
