The Office of Undergraduate Education announces the release of the Undergraduate Research Tracking Report. The report shows that nearly 15 percent of UCR undergraduates participated in a faculty mentored undergraduate research or creative activity during the academic year 2011-12. The report tracks three types of participation: (1) through sponsored programs, such as the Chancellor's Research Fellows; (2) through credit-bearing research courses; and (3) through payroll as part of federal work-study or Research Experiences for Undergraduates supplemental grants. BCoE and CNAS provided particularly robust opportunities for undergraduates to participate in faculty-mentored research or creative activities, but all four undergraduate colleges were active in providing these opportunities.
