Scholars Transforming Through Research (STR)
October 2022 to April 2023
The STR Program serves as a six month professional development opportunity for undergraduate students and faculty/mentors interested in garnering communication and advocacy skills to leverage the impact of their undergraduate research experience by conveying their story to stakeholder groups such as funding agencies, association partners, elected officials, future employers, community, and beyond.
In-Person Training and Virtual Experiences
This program will kick off with an in-person, two-day training event on October 23-24, 2022, in Alexandria, VA. The in-person training will be held for the entire team and provide skill development, advocacy training, and networking as participants start off their CUR advocacy ambassador journey.
After the initial in-person training, there will be various virtual check-in points, scheduled advocacy meetings with representatives, and a Virtual Spring Showcase happening through April 2023.
Apply as a Team
This program will provide an opportunity for institutional teams to apply. Teams must consist of a campus representative team lead–faculty or mentor–and up to two undergraduate research students who are currently enrolled in or have previously completed an undergraduate research experience. Each team member will be involved in all aspects of the trainings.
Note: CU Boulder is an institutional member of CUR.
