Pages : 121
Book Description
This book captures the messages from a workshop that brought together research managers from government, industry, and academia to review and discuss the mechanisms that have been proposed or used to assess the value of chemical research. The workshop focused on the assessment procedures that have been or will be established within the various organizations that carry out or fund research activities, with particular attention to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The book presents approaches and ideas from leaders in each area that were intended to identify new and useful ways of assessing the value and potential impact of research activities.

Book Description
Chapters of this collection show that students benefit from a research-based teaching environment, and that students who have the opportunity for research complete their science programs in greater numbers than those who do not. The chapters of section 1, "Achieving Excellence," are: (1) "The Role of Research at Undergraduate Institution: Why Is It Necessary To Defend It?" (Robert Gavin); (2) "Achieving a National Reputation for Excellence" (Michael P. Doyle); (3) "If You Build It They Will Comeand Stay" (Richard Warch); and (4) "Research Is Important, But" (Robert L. Lichter). In section 2, "Model Programs," the chapters are: (5) "Reminiscences and Recommendations on Undergraduate Research" (Douglas C. Neckers); (6) "Then and Now: A Brief View of Hope College Today" (James M. Gentile); (7) "Mentors in Science: Research-Based Pedagogy at Hendrix College" (John Churchill); and (8) "Chemical Bonding between Students and Faculty: The Chemistry Program at Furman University" (Larry S. Trzupek and Lon B. Knight, Jr.). Section 3, "Supporting Excellence," contains: (9) "NIH Funding: An Inside Guide to Grantsmanship" (John Schwab and Jean Chin); (10) "The Cost of Research Instrumentation in Chemistry" (Michael P. Doyle); (11) "The First NMR Spectrometer at Hope" (Douglas C. Neckers); (12) "Origin and Programs of the Petroleum Research Fund" (Lawrence A. Funke); and (13) "The Keys to the Kingdom: Motivation and Environment" (Raymond Kellman). An appendix describes some programs for undergraduate institutions. (Contains 62 references.) (SLD).

Book Description
Undergraduate research enhances the learning experience of students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Undergraduate Research in the Sciences offers a groundbreaking and practical research-based book on the topic. This comprehensive resource addresses how undergraduate research benefits undergraduate participants, including those populations that are underrepresented in the sciences; compares its benefits with other types of educational activities and experiences; and assesses its long-term value to students and faculty as both a scholarly and educational endeavor. In laying out the processes by which these benefits are achieved, this important book can assist faculty and program directors with practical guidance for design and evaluation of both new and existing undergraduate research programs. Praise for Undergraduate Research in the Sciences "This meticulous, definitive study of the effects of working with a faculty member on research as an undergraduate confirms the overall value of the experience by taking us deep into the minds and actions of participants—both faculty and students. As a result we now have many more compelling reasons to get more students involved with research mentors and ways to optimize the benefits for all parties."—George D. Kuh, Chancellor's Professor and director, Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research "This timely book offers a unique, comprehensive analysis of undergraduate research in the sciences, based on the voices of college students and faculty mentors who have participated in these voyages of discovery. As our nation struggles to train more scientists, this book will be a valuable resource for designing undergraduate research experiences that can build our country's capacity for discovery and innovation."—Arthur B. Ellis, Vice Chancellor for Research, University of California, San Diego "The text is written in a lucid and engaging style and will be a valuable guide to policymakers, academic administrators, and faculty members who want to find ways to engage undergraduates in the 'real work' of investigation."—Judith A. Ramaley, president, Winona State University "This book is a 'must-read' for anyone who directs undergraduates in research. It presents an impressive and rigorous body of work that brings fresh insights into the field of undergraduate research. The next generation of scientists will benefit greatly from the findings and recommendations!"—Jo Handelsman, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, Yale University
