Abstract
Many academic institutions expect faculty to engage in collaborative research with undergraduates. To make productive research a reality, administrators must provide the necessary infrastructure and resources. A growing component of that infrastructure is the presence of professional staff to assist faculty in initiating, sustaining, and enhancing their undergraduate research programs. The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) recently devoted an issue of the CUR Quarterly to describe the functions and advantages of several models of administrative infrastructure to support the undergraduate research mission. Key themes of the published articles and accompanying online material are highlighted here.
