Undergraduate Research Program Directors Division

The Undergraduate Research Program Director's (URPD) Division serves and supports the needs of faculty and administrators who direct undergraduate research programs on their campuses. Our membership includes directors of new and established programs at diverse institutions, programs that encompass a wide variety of disciplines from the sciences to the performing arts, and programs across traditional academic boundaries. This Division promotes networking among Directors in order to share ideas and resources, disseminate best practices, and organize workshops and Institutes. The Division also sponsors a CUR Affinity Group to support the work of members who wish to remain within a disciplinary Division in CUR but would like to benefit from the work of the URPD Division.
