What are the goals of the initiative?
These goals of the initiative were cited in the UH QEP Report: • Undergraduate research should be a signature program for UH, one that makes the University more attractive to potential students with records of strong academic achievement. • Undergraduate students at UH will participate in some level of research activity by the time they receive their bachelor’s degrees. • By the time they graduate, UH students will have a fundamental understanding of research and its importance to society. • The number of students participating in a research-related group project will grow. • A growing proportion of undergraduate research opportunities will be interdisciplinary in nature. • The number of students participating in research experiences who are selected for presentation will grow. • Undergraduate student retention will improve. • The six-year graduation rate of first-time in college students and the four-year graduation rate of transfers beginning with 60 or more credit hours will improve
