将研究纳入本科课程，特别是在早期阶段，与改善批判性思维，智力独立和学生保留有关。这导致毕业人口更愿意进入劳动力市场或研究生院。同样，指导也与增强自我效能、坚持和追求研究生学业的愿望有关。我们设计了两门相互联系的课程，让二年级的本科生参与开发自我指导的研究项目，提案写作。这些课程还有助于与参加同伴课程的研究生导师建立关系。早期职业本科生，没有以前的研究经验，从教师过程导师接受科学研究过程中的正式培训，同时与研究生内容导师一起开发独立的研究项目，撰写提案并将自己嵌入到一个活跃的研究小组中。本科生可以选择提交他们的资金建议，以继续该项目，无论是作为毕业或独立所需的上师研究课程的一部分。参加同伴课程的研究生通过正式培训和积极指导早期职业本科生获得指导经验。本章介绍了我们的综合方法，使早期职业本科生在开发和资助独立的研究项目与授权的指导关系的支持模型和早期评估。
Incorporating research into undergraduate curricula, especially at an early stage, has been linked to improved critical thinking, intellectual independence, and student retention. This results in a graduating population more ready to enter the workforce or graduate school. Similarly, mentoring has been linked to enhanced self-efficacy, persistence, and desire to pursue graduate studies. We have designed two linked courses that engage second-year undergraduate students in developing self-directed research projects, proposal writing. These courses also serve to nucleate relationships with graduate student mentors enrolled in the companion course. Early-career undergraduate students, with no previous research experience, receive formal training in the process of scientific research from a faculty process mentor while working with a graduate student content mentor to develop an independent research project and write a proposal and embed themselves in an active research group. Undergraduate students may elect to submit their proposals for funding to continue the project, either as part of the upper division research course required for graduation or independently. Graduate students enrolled in the companion course gain experience in mentoring through formal training and actively mentoring early-career undergraduates. This chapter presents both the model and early assessment of our integrated approach to engaging early career undergraduates in developing and funding independent research projects with the support of empowering mentoring relationships.
