ABSTRACT
The six-year Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Transformations project aimed to integrate and scaffold research skill development and undergraduate research opportunities throughout the curricula of 24 departments representing one of the four STEM disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics and astronomy, and psychology. In this chapter, we examine these curricular transformations through a disciplinary lens, with additional reflections on the project from the perspective of non-STEM disciplines. We highlight ways disciplinary societies have fostered curricular innovation and change. Throughout the chapter, we offer examples of instructional models and programs that foster research-rich curricula and critically examine issues related to the equity of research opportunities for students with underrepresented and marginalized identities.
