Undergraduate Research: Course-Base Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURES)

The City University of New York
The CUNY Office of Research is offering grants for innovative ideas that incorporate authentic research projects into the undergraduate curriculum. For the purposes of this competition, authentic research is defined as a plan for seeking answers to a research question for which the outcome is unknown. Successful projects may be implemented into new or existing courses but must incorporate authentic research. The research question should be based on the expertise of the PI, and should involve the development of new avenues of inquiry. As the COVID-19 crisis has necessitated that all CUNY faculty convert their onsite courses to online formats, we encourage applicants to devise innovative ways to involve undergraduates in authentic research in virtual learning environments.

Earth Educators Rendezvous
This workshop is designed for faculty (including future faculty) who are interested in developing an undergraduate research program, as well as those interested in expanding their research programs to include undergraduates. The workshop will cover: incorporating research into courses (from introductory to advanced), project selection and mentoring of undergraduates in independent research, and ideas for funding opportunities.
