CUR Fellows Awards Nominations
|
|
|
The Council on Undergraduate Research requests nominations for the CUR
Fellows Awards. The CUR Fellows awards are presented at the biennial
National Conference to two CUR members who have developed nationally respected research programs
involving undergraduates. Each CUR Fellow will also be awarded a
Brian Andreen-CUR Student Research Fellowship that they will give to a
deserving undergraduate at their respective institutions. Awardees have established outstanding
records of obtaining funding for their work and for their students, and
have published research findings with undergraduate co-authors. They
reach out to students of all backgrounds, incorporate research activities
into the courses they teach, and lead efforts to institutionalize research
on their campuses and across the nation. In sum, they are leaders
and role models for countless faculty and students.
Recognizing that significant and meaningful research-related activities with undergraduate students can take many forms, the selection committee will use the following criteria for selecting awardees:
|
|
|
- active CUR membership
- sustained involvement of undergraduates in research,
senior faculty member
- publications with undergraduate co-authors in peer-reviewed journals
- extramural support for research
- presentations by undergraduates at regional or national meetings
- admission of students to postgraduate programs
- evidence of outreach to minority or under-represented groups
- incorporation of research activities and experiences into courses
Any member of CUR may submit a nomination
for the CUR Fellows Awards. A nomination consists of a two-page
letter highlighting the nominee's contributions to all areas of undergraduate research.
Additionally, a two page C.V. of the nominee should be included.
Although abbreviated, the CV should detail the nominee's contribution to
undergraduate research, ranging from mentoring undergraduate students
with resulting publications to promoting undergraduate research beyond
the local level. The letter and C.V.
must be submitted to the CUR National Office as a single PDF document, , uploaded via the following nomination website:
http://cur.networkats.com/members_online/submissions/substart.asp
Please note that you will need your Members Only username and password to submit a nomination.
The deadline for nominations is December 5th, 2008.
Questions may be addressed to cur@cur.org
