  • Summary

    Undergraduate research in the chemical sciences is considered essential for understanding the scientific process and building transferable skillsets for a global workforce. Engagement in undergraduate research has been shown to help students gain critical skills while building confidence and fostering a sense of belonging and community that has been shown to be critical for attracting and retaining a diverse student and professional body of scientists. Several different models of undergraduate research in the chemical sciences exist, including the traditional assistantship to collaborator, consultant and course-based undergraduate research models. In recent years, the latter model has provided increased opportunities for undergraduates to participate in high-impact chemistry research as early as their first year of college. The chapter provides a short introduction to these models and includes selected examples highlighting their implementation, concluding with an outline of the importance of inclusive practices in undergraduate research.
