Reasearch Database 
The database contains five levels of research:
  - Undergraduate - These are projects undertaken by UMass Boston undergraduate 
    students.
 
  - Masters - Generally these are projects undertaken as part of a thesis or 
    other masters level work.
 
  - Ph.D. - Thesis or other research undertaken as part of a doctoral program
 
  - Faculty - Research conducted by UMass Boston faculty
 
  - Centers and Institutes - Research undertaken by one of UMass Boston's Centers 
    or Institutes.
 
The database currently is populated with projects derived the Graduate Research 
  Bulletin, published in 2001, and past Undergraduate research data. This is just 
  the start.
Faculty can add, modify or delete any record for which they are listed as the 
  owner. Any time a faculty member creates a research record, he or she automatically 
  becomes the owner of the record unless he or she changes the ownership.
If there is a record for which you should be the owner but are not, please 
  send an email to umb.webmaster@umb.edu and 
  explain the situation.
