ACT REQ: Survey—UNC System UGR partnerships with NCCCS students
by Michelle L. Soler 19 Jun '23

19 Jun '23

Dear UNC System Undergraduate Research Colleagues: In an effort to better understand the undergraduate research partnerships taking place between NC public and private higher education institutions and the NC Community Colleges, a group comprised of UNC System and NC Community College staff and faculty worked during Spring 2023 to develop a short survey. The end goal may be the emergence of a consortium for undergraduate research partnerships that could potentially result in opportunities for shared resources, grant applications, conferences, and best practices. Another goal is to review the accessibility of undergraduate research opportunities for all students. As you click through the survey, consider why your institution may or may not have UGR partnerships in place with NCCC students. Results of the survey will be made available during late summer, 2023. Please click on the link below, and complete the survey by July 1, 2023. We realize many of these partnerships may take place outside of your office, please feel free to forward this survey to appropriate departments at your institution. UNC System/Private NC Institutions Survey: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7320331/Research-Project-Survey-for-Universi… Best regards, Michelle Michelle L.
