Council on Undergraduate Research Memberships

UT Knoxville is an enhanced institutional member of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), an affiliation of nearly 600 colleges and universities that share a focus on providing undergraduate research opportunities. The enhanced CUR membership allows interested UTK faculty, staff, or students to register for a free password-based login that will provide access to the group’s members-only web site. Other benefits include an electronic subscription to CUR Quarterly, a journal on undergraduate research issues, and a monthly e-newsletter.

To become a member, fill out the Individual Online Activation form online.

Once you become a CUR member, there are opportunities (if interested) to serve on discipline-specific committees and to influence undergraduate research nationwide.

CUR also hosts a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research. The Registry is open to students and graduate schools in the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology, Arts/Humanities, Biology/Biochemistry, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Economics, Engineering, Geosciences, Health Professions, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/ Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. To sign up, visit the Registry of Undergraduate Researchers website.
