Framework for Evaluating Success in Undergraduate Research

This evaluation for Undergraduate Research (UR) programs at Purdue is based on a framework created by the Georgia College and State University “GC Journeys” program. “GC Journeys covers a variety of high-impact practices but this framework adapted for Purdue UR programs consists of a self-evaluation for the following characteristics:

  • Complexity
  • Originality
  • Dissemination
  • Mentorship
  • Holistic
  • Engagement
  • Unit Support

To obtain a Purdue copy of this framework, please complete a consultation request.
