CUR’s Geoscience Division (GeoCUR) gives annual awards to full-time undergraduate students currently enrolled in a two-year or four-year educational institution engaging in research emphasizing the geosciences, such as geology, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, etc.
Participants will reflect on a changing landscape, discuss current challenges, share innovative approaches, and brainstorm resilient solutions that transcend the need for traditional DEI terminology. With a focus on adaptability and creativity, attendees will develop strategies that ensure their work remains impactful, regardless of external pressures.
We are excited that you will be participating in NCUR and presenting your engineering research. The CUR Engineering Division would like to highlight your research! By completing this application, you are allowing CUR Engineering to share your research video with the public. You will also be eligible to be recognized publicly and potentially receive a cash award.
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. NCUR 2025 will take place in Pittsburgh, PA.
This award recognizes websites with logical navigability and design, effectively communicate information for faculty and students, highlight program successes, and provide programmatic details that could allow for replication. Awardees receive $500.
At this free webinar, the authors of A Long View of Undergraduate Research: Alumni Perspectives on Inquiry, Belonging, and Vocation will discuss findings from research on undergraduate research alumni from across the disciplines. These alumni reveal how undergraduate research is intellectually and personally significant during college and vocationally significant after college, and they suggest ways in which mentors, research programs, and institutions can sustain more meaningful, equitable research experiences.
This is a national celebration in which CUR showcases what other campuses are doing to celebrate undergraduate research, congratulate students, and thank those faculty and mentors who have helped guide the way.
Preservice and in-service teacher thinking risks being outsourced to ‘reasoning’ models of AI (e.g. Open AI 3.0 mini and Deep Seek). Simultaneously, the same risk is true for the thinking of the school students they teach. This webinar provides ways to manage this risk through conceptualization and practice about facilitating rich research thinking, using examples from the open-access Springer book ‘Research Thinking for Responsive Teaching’.
Hosted by the CUR Undergraduate Research Program Division, these 50-minute Zoom sessions are monthly facilitated exchanges of ideas and information on a variety of topics and issues related to undergraduate research programs.
A team at Oregon State University designed, implemented, and studied an alternative inclusive undergraduate research experience model aimed at lowering barriers to access for underrepresented and non-traditional students. The program, Authentic Research through Collaborative Learning has just released a web-based guide to share insights and lessons learned from this long duration, low intensity and field independent research experience. Attend this free webinar to engage with the authors Julie Risisen and Ryan Brown.
