The enhanced CUR membership allows interested UTK faculty, staff, or students to register for a free password-based login that will provide access to the group’s members-only web site.

Once you become a CUR member, there are opportunities (if interested) to serve on discipline-specific committees and to influence undergraduate research nationwide.
CUR also hosts a Registry of Undergraduate Researchers to facilitate matchmaking between undergraduates who have research experience and a desire to pursue an advanced degree, with graduate schools seeking high quality students who are well prepared for research. The Registry is open to students and graduate schools in the fields of Anthropology/Archaeology, Arts/Humanities, Biology/Biochemistry, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Economics, Engineering, Geosciences, Health Professions, Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/ Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
