• Resumen

  • The recent declining numbers of students pursuing graduate study in science and engineering jeopardizes the level of innovation, scientific discovery, and knowledge creation necessary for growth and prosperity in our knowledge-based global economy. Significant evidence suggests that participation in undergraduate research can lead to increased numbers of students pursuing graduate study in these disciplines. The Council on Undergraduate Research maintains a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers to link undergraduate students who have research experience with graduate schools interested in recruiting such students. Undergraduates may enroll themselves in this registry at any time at no cost. Graduate schools and departments may subscribe to gain access to student records, enabling direct contact with the students that best fit their program.
