Interdisciplinary (99)The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is disseminating information about an effective educational practice: undergraduate faculty-student collaborative research. The project is using CUR's multidisciplinary membership and infrastructure, demonstrated expertise in hosting effective workshops, and strong foundation of services and publications focused on faculty development and institutional reform to share successful best-practice models and strategies for establishing, enhancing, and institutionalizing undergraduate research. This project is an expansion of CUR's Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research workshop, an annual, national-level workshop, to a regional focus. Workshops are being held in eight geographic regions with participants representing all types of institutions, including two-year, baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, and research-intensive institutions. These institutions include Hispanic-serving, Native American-serving, and historically black colleges and universities, as well as institutions in regions that have not previously been served by CUR workshops. The regional focus is supporting 1) broader participation by institutions that otherwise would not attend a workshop focused on undergraduate research, 2) increasing dissemination of models and best practices, and 3) providing critical post-workshop, follow-up interactions to increase the likelihood of implementation and sustainability on participants' home campuses. The regional model focuses on developing communities of scholars at each participating campus. Specifically, the proposed project is improving the quality of undergraduate STEM education by achieving four linked objectives: (1) helping academic departments and institutions establish and eventually expand undergraduate research opportunities; (2) facilitating the documentation of best practices among a wide variety of institutions; (3) documenting and disseminating models of how to integrate undergraduate research into the curriculum; and (4) encouraging and supporting regional faculty networking and sharing of ideas. Broader impacts of this project include the support of STEM faculty in their implementation of undergraduate research as an effective pedagogical tool and enhancement of the research culture on their campuses.

跨学科（99）本科生研究理事会（CUR）正在传播有关有效教育实践的信息：本科生教师-学生合作研究。 该项目正在利用CUR的多学科成员和基础设施，在举办有效的研讨会，以及服务和出版物的强大基础，专注于教师发展和体制改革分享成功的最佳实践模式和战略，建立，加强和制度化本科生研究。该项目是CUR的制度化本科生研究研讨会的扩展，这是一个年度国家级研讨会，以区域为重点。正在八个地理区域举办讲习班，参加者代表所有类型的机构，包括两年制、学士、硕士、博士和研究密集型机构。 这些机构包括西班牙裔服务，美洲原住民服务，历史上的黑人学院和大学，以及以前没有被CUR讲习班服务的地区的机构。 该区域的重点是支持1）更广泛的参与机构，否则不会参加侧重于本科生研究的研讨会，2）增加模型和最佳实践的传播，以及3）提供关键的研讨会后，后续互动，以增加实施的可能性和参与者的家庭校园的可持续性。 区域模式的重点是在每个参与校园发展学者社区。具体而言，拟议的项目是通过实现四个相互关联的目标来提高本科STEM教育的质量：（1）帮助学术部门和机构建立并最终扩大本科研究机会;（2）促进各种机构之间的最佳实践的文件;（3）记录和传播如何将本科研究纳入课程的模式;（4）将本科研究纳入课程。及（4）鼓励及支持地区性的教师网络及意见交流。 该项目的更广泛的影响包括支持STEM教师将本科生研究作为一种有效的教学工具，并加强校园内的研究文化。
