Take Action

Your voice matters.

Undergraduate research transforms students’ lives and strengthens our institutions, and policymakers need to hear why it matters.

As the landscape of higher education continues to evolve, it’s essential to keep undergraduate research visible in national conversations about funding, policy, and priorities. Proactive advocacy helps ensure that these experiences remain valued, supported, and accessible to all students.

With the help of CUR’s advocacy partner, Bose Washington Partners, CUR members can now easily make their voices heard. This advocacy tool allows you to send personalized, automated messages to your Senators and Representatives in just a few clicks. CUR will continue to update the available letters as new opportunities for engagement arise throughout the year.

When engaging in advocacy for undergraduate research, you are welcome to use your personal email address if you prefer not to represent your institution directly. This allows you to share your voice as an individual supporter while still making a strong impact in communicating the importance of undergraduate research.
