Undergraduate research is a proven form of engaged learning that engenders a transformational experience for undergraduates as a consequence of deep student involvement and frequent student-mentor interactions. The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) intends to address the critical national need for continued and more comprehensive dissemination of effective practices for initiating and sustaining faculty-student collaborative undergraduate research. This project is a comprehensive expansion of the impact and reach of CUR's Phase 2-supported regional initiative and the organization's national-level "Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research" workshops (held from 1996-2006). The Phase 3 project is providing a series of "Institutionalizing Undergraduate Research" workshops for groups of colleges and universities drawn from state systems, private consortia, and mission-similar institutions (e.g., minority-serving), and employing a structured program of workshop follow-up activities. Training workshops to develop the skills of CUR members to serve as workshop facilitators will enhance the mentoring received by workshop participants, provide avenues for leadership development, and further sustain the initiative with a cadre of trained facilitators throughout the country. More than 150 facilitators and coordinators will be directly involved. The Phase 3 project will be extensively evaluated with the assistance of an independent external evaluator and a distinguished external advisory board.

本科生研究是一种经过验证的参与式学习，由于学生的深度参与和频繁的学生与导师互动，它为本科生带来了一种变革性的体验。本科生研究理事会(CUR)旨在解决国家对持续和更全面地传播有效实践的关键需求，以启动和维持师生合作的本科生研究。这一项目是本组织第二阶段支持的区域倡议和该组织的国家级“本科生研究制度化”讲习班(1996年至2006年举行)的影响和覆盖范围的全面扩展。第三阶段项目为来自国家系统、私人财团和类似使命的机构(例如，为少数群体服务的机构)的学院和大学团体提供一系列“本科生研究制度化”研讨会，并采用研讨会后续活动的结构化方案。培训讲习班将加强讲习班参与者所接受的指导，提供发展领导力的途径，并在全国范围内利用一支训练有素的主持人队伍进一步维持这一倡议。150多名调解人和协调员将直接参与。第三阶段项目将在一名独立的外部评估员和一个杰出的外部咨询委员会的协助下进行广泛评估。
