Regional Workshop Program on Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research:

CUR has recently been awarded a Course, Curriculum, Laboratory Improvement grant in the amount $499,066 from the National Science Foundation. The program includes eight regional workshops over the next two years and follow-up activities for institutions that participate in the regional workshops.  The purpose of the program is to assist campuses in making institution-level changes to establish, formalize and expand undergraduate research opportunities.  These workshops will be directed toward campuses that have not yet institutionalized undergraduate research.  For more information, please visit the Regional Workshop Homepage.
