Dear Linda:

Please forward the below information to your students participating in
undergraduate research.

Dear Students:

The Council on Undergraduate Research hosts a Registry of Undergraduate
Researchers.  The purpose of this registry is to facilitate matchmaking
between undergraduates who have research experience and a desire to
pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality
students who are well prepared for research.  The Registry is open to
students and graduate schools in the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology,
Arts/Humanities, Biology/Biochemistry, Chemistry/Biochemistry,
Economics, Engineering, Geosciences, Health Professions,
Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/ Astronomy, Political Science,
Psychology and Sociology.

Any undergraduate may go to www.cur.org/ugreg/
<http://www.cur.org/ugreg/>  to fill out a simple curriculum vitae form.
There is no charge to the student and records will be made available to
bona fide Graduate Schools that contract with CUR for this service.
Organizations or companies seeking the students' information for other
marketing purposes will not be granted access.  Graduate School
representatives may contact students to invite applications or visits to
the campus and laboratory, or to share information about their research
programs and financial support opportunities. 

An institution-wide annual subscription fee for access to the entire
database is $1,500 and departments can subscribe for $300 on their own
for their discipline, if they choose.  Again, there is no cost to you as
a student to create a profile.

Graduate schools may provide a link to their websites, and may provide a
short description of opportunities, such as research fields and
fellowships. It will also be possible for institutions to place an ad on
the database website if the content is related to the mission of CUR and
the Undergraduate Registry. 

We hope that students who are currently in their junior year will
register now, but anyone with undergraduate research experience may
register at any time.  You will be able to update your listing as
appropriate, to include any summer research experience or information
about Senior Theses and test scores.  We also welcome submissions by
students who are engaged in Masters' Degree programs now but who plan on
going on to a PhD program. Just fill out the information on the form
including the date you intend to enter a PhD program and your date of
completion of your undergraduate degree.  Upload a link to your CV that
contains complete information about your MS/MA degree activity (school,
subject, thesis topic (if applicable), and advisor). 

CUR believes that this service will be a great benefit for both students
and graduate schools by narrowing the search for the right match.  So if
you are interested in graduate school, please take a moment to register
now.  Be sure to include a statement of your research interests, as this
will be important for making the match.

Please feel free to contact me, should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Robin Howard
