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.

Full details of the CUR Fellow criteria and biographies of past CUR Fellows are available at www.cur.org/CUR_Fellows.html.

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. Both documents should address the criteria used by the selection committee (found at the website given above).

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 5^th, 2008.
