Of 5 possible levels of headings, you will usually only need one to two for an undergraduate research paper.

For one level of headings, center the heading with double spacing above and below it; use both lower-and upper-case letters. 

For two levels of headings, the previous headings will become the main ones; use side headings at the left margin, underlined, for subheadings.
