The University of New Mexico's URM program, called Undergraduate Nurturing Opportunities (UNO), will recruit students and prepare them for graduate study and a career in research. All students will have up to 3 years of intensive research with any of faculty mentors from the Museum of Southwestern Biology, the Sevilleta Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, and the Biology Department. The Program will target sophomores, especially highly qualified underrepresented minority students. Students will be recruited from UNM, Dine College, Central New Mexico Community College, Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI) and other nearby institutions in the Southwest. The Program will use a multi-level mentoring approach, involving students at various academic stages, including those who have successful transitioned to graduate school. In addition to Faculty Mentors, the program will include a rotating Graduate Mentor and a Peer Mentor from the university's Honors Program. The UNO project will directly increase diversity and the level of participation by underrepresented minority students in advanced graduate training and research careers. The project will strengthen UNM's partnerships with the regional colleges from which participants are expected to come. UNO also includes seminars and other student enhancement activities. Students will write a research paper and present the results in a conference. In addition, UNO participants will include their families and friends from the first day in the program, thereby extending the network of student support. An indirect outcome from the program will be to recruit many who would have otherwise not considered university study. It is expected that the program will increase graduation rates and professional life-path choices for the students. More information can be found at http://www.msb.unm.edu/.

新墨西哥州大学的URM项目名为“本科生培养机会”（UNO），将招收学生，为他们的研究生学习和研究生涯做好准备。 所有学生将有长达3年的密集研究与任何教师导师从西南生物学博物馆，塞维利亚长期生态研究（LTER）网站，和生物系。该方案将针对少数民族学生，特别是代表性不足的高素质少数民族学生。学生将从UNM，Dine学院，中央新墨西哥州社区学院，西南印度理工学院（SIPI）和其他附近的机构在西南部招募。该计划将采用多层次的指导方法，涉及各个学术阶段的学生，包括那些成功过渡到研究生院的学生。除了教师导师，该计划将包括一个旋转的研究生导师和同行导师从大学的荣誉计划。联合国办事处项目将直接增加多样性，并提高代表性不足的少数民族学生参与高级研究生培训和研究职业的水平。该项目将加强新墨西哥大学与区域学院的伙伴关系，预计参与者将来自这些学院。UNO还包括研讨会和其他学生增强活动。学生将撰写一篇研究论文，并在会议上展示结果。此外，UNO的参与者将包括他们的家人和朋友从第一天的计划，从而扩大了学生的支持网络。该计划的一个间接结果将是招募许多原本不会考虑大学学习的人。预计该计划将提高毕业率和学生的职业生活道路选择。更多信息可以在http://www.msb.unm.edu/上找到。
