From this perspective, it has been hypothesized that the application of a university research program produces significant effects in the improvement of research capacities in students of cycle VIII, IX and X of the various faculties of the National University of San Martín-Tarapoto. The explanatory study, of the experimental level, of the quasi-experimental design, has been carried out with a sample of 187 students from the various faculties of the UNSM-T.
