Summary

Indiana University Purdue University–Indianapolis (IUPUI) is an urban public research university. Undergraduate research has been a cornerstone of the campus culture for more than twenty years. Currently, about 15% of undergraduate students engage in credit-bearing, paid, or volunteer research experiences. The campus-wide Center for Research and Learning (CRL) offers a comprehensive set of course-independent programs aimed at promoting innovative, inquiry-based learning across all undergraduate majors and populations during the academic year and summer recess. These programs support both one-on-one mentored research as well as opportunities to participate in team-based multidisciplinary research experiences that are documented in the digital Applied and Experiential Learning Record. Various research programs focus on engaging underrepresented minority, disadvantaged, and underserved students. Writing assignments and student and mentor surveys have confirmed that students engaged in undergraduate research acquire both research-specific and transferable skills.
