[Mason, Linda]

Please forward to appropriate faculty members.

Apply to attend or share with the appropriate colleagues on your campus.

Beginning a Research Program in the Natural Sciences at a Predominantly Undergraduate Institution Institute

Next Offering: November 21-23, 2014 - Embassy Suites - Greensboro, Greensboro, NC

Application Deadline: September 26, 2014

Starting a successful research program and doing scholarly work at a predominantly undergraduate institution pose unique challenges for a beginning faculty member. A goal of the institute is to give individual pre-tenured faculty members the opportunity to learn from and discuss with experienced faculty how to establish and manage a research program with undergraduates. While at the institute, participants will also prepare plans for starting and/or advancing their individual research programs at their respective campuses. A range of topics will be covered during the institute that show ways to achieve career success in undergraduate research by learning how to:

· select undergraduate researchers,

· mentor student researchers and develop and use their research skills,

· manage time - balancing teaching, research and service activities,

· develop and select research projects appropriate for undergraduates,

· adapt to an undergraduate research environment vs. that in graduate school,

· link research to the classroom, and

·develop grantsmanship skills related to gaining external and institutional research support.



Past participants have noted-

“Meeting other young faculty from similar institutions‎, learning about case studies in which research was integrated in classroom settings, learning about funding opportunities and strategies to improve grant writing success were all high points.”

“This is a great workshop and I learned so much.  Definitely one of those career changing meetings for me. Thank you so much for this opportunity!”
