Faculty Resources: Research in the ClassroomThe 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.
