A majority (65%?) of TAMS students will engage in some form of research activities during their tenure. Below are general information on research as a TAMS student.

== Seeking Research Mentors ==
The "pairing up" process can be bidirectional.
=== Students Seeking Mentors ===
Historically the standard practice, students email professors for potential research opportunities. Several things to note:
*Do write an email with good etiquette, clear points, and a mention (maybe a question) of a piece of the mentor's research that interests you.
*Do '''''NOT''''' send too many emails. Dr. James Duban, Associate Dean for Research and National Scholarships, recommends that each email sent be waited for 3 business days for reply.
=== Mentors Seeking Students ===
This is made possible primarily through the newly introduced effort by the TAMS Research Organization. A page is kept where students can submit brief form on research interests, and where professors interested in mentoring students may seek those whom they aer interested in on a PDF file organized by TAMS staff from the forms students submit.
== Normal Expectation of Research ==
On average, approximately 6-10 hours of work is expected per week during school weeks, but more or less may be possible depending on professors.
== Summer Research and Early Summer Research ==
Each year, depending on fund availability, a select amount of current TAMS juniors (occasionally seniors as well) receive a scholarship to conduct a 10-week research with a research mentor; this is known as "Summer Research". In addition, a small amount of incoming TAMS students also receive scholarship to conduct research, alongside "Summer Research" students; they are known as "Early Summer Research" students. Under the regulation of a comprehensive "contract"
== UNT Undergraduate Research Fund ==
== Choice of Mentor ==
There exists some discussions in terms of professors to seek research opportunities for.
== Research Electives ==
See [[Courses]] for further information; one may consider research electives a form of manifestation of research participation on the transcript, in a somewhat oversimplified capacity.
