CUR's document, Characteristics of Excellence in Undergraduate Research (COEUR; http://www.cur.org/assets/1/23/COEUR_final.pdf<http://strongmail1.multiview.com:80/track?type=click&eas=1&mailingid=2122981&messageid=2122981&databaseid=Mailing.DS122981.2122981.106983&serial=17318038&emailid=lmason@osrhe.edu&userid=61778044&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2019&&&http://www.cur.org/assets/1/23/COEUR_final.pdf>), describes the organization's criteria for excellent undergraduate research programs. This award will recognize higher-education institutions that have both successfully implemented some of the characteristics of excellence and have devised exemplary programs to provide high-quality research experiences to undergraduates. The depth and breadth of the institutional commitment to undergraduate research, as well as the innovative nature of a sustained, exemplary program are important criteria for award selection. Nominations will be open to all types of higher education institutions. CUR will make up to three awards per year, with efforts to recognize institutions in the different Carnegie classification groups. A letter of intent (up to 500 words) summarizing the institution's commitment to undergraduate research and highlighting a specific high-quality program that has been particularly exemplary is due March 1. Completed applications, due May 1, will include a description (up to 2500 words) of the institution's overall undergraduate research efforts, including assessment information. This description should speak to up to 5 of the 12 characteristics of excellence listed in the COEUR document. Applications will also include an in-depth description (up to 2000 words) of one program element that has been particularly exemplary, including evidence that it has been effective.

Do not be afraid to give your time to writing grant proposals. Time given to planning proposals is never time lost, but is rather time gained, so that our research, our programs, our collaborations and indeed our whole profession may become more profoundly significant.
