Abstract
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) seeks to contribute further to national efforts to integrate research and education by collecting and disseminating a variety of mechanisms that are effective means of creating a research-supportive undergraduate curriculum. These "best practices" include curricular and pedagogical approaches that develop research skills and encourage intellectual inquiry, institutional infrastructure that facilitates the development of research-supportive curricula, and administrative perspectives that encourage the development of a research culture. Readers are invited to share their successful approaches and practices to be "highlighted" in a new CUR publication.
