Archive of Course-Embedded Research Grant Reports (2nd Grant)
After receiving a second five-year grant through the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in the spring of 2018, the Mellon Initiative began awarding stipends to arts and humanities faculty for
- redesigning lower-division courses that fulfill Pathways requirements by including course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs),
- creating labs for individual or interrelated projects so students with various levels of experience could earn course credit and develop research skills while working with faculty on long-term research projects, and
- develop and implement regionally focused research projects that include opportunities for undergraduate researchers.
The following are a collection of reports from several of these grants.
