Abstract

The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is an advocate for a research-supportive curriculum that provides ample time for students to undertake research. The Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society also endorses undergraduate research as a vital component of the undergraduate curriculum. In response, many chemistry departments have redesigned curricula to enable undergraduates to participate in collaborative research with a faculty mentor. CUR members offer here their strategies to create the time needed to make productive research a reality.
