Description/Abstract
How do higher education institutions increase undergraduate research participation? Drawing on data and innovative best practices, we describe inexpensive, institutional approaches to broaden research activity, especially among underrepresented students, and foster greater educational equality. We consider how colleges and universities may employ selected curricular modifications, co-curricular programming, and incentive mechanisms to increase undergraduate research engagement among faculty and students.
