EvaluateUR Options
EvaluateUR offers a flexible and structured approach to enhancing undergraduate research experiences through comprehensive feedback and assessment. Designed to foster meaningful growth and development, EvaluateUR provides three distinct pathways, each tailored to suit diverse program structures and evaluation goals. Whether you're facilitating a close-knit mentorship or managing a large-scale research initiative, EvaluateUR empowers you to gather valuable insights and promote student success. Explore the options below to determine the best fit for your program:
EvaluateUR Standard:
- Intended for: Summer and academic year undergraduate research programs.
- Description: This variant is designed for programs where there are student-mentor pairs with frequent interactions between the student and mentor. The students complete an initial assessment and both the students and mentors complete the mid-research and end-of-research assessments. Each assessment is followed by a conversation to discuss reasons for assigning scores to the outcome components included in the assessments.
EvaluateUR Student-Only:
- Intended for: Summer and academic year undergraduate research programs.
- Description: This variant is designed for programs where student self-assessment is the primary method of evaluation and only the students score the initial, mid-, and end-of-research assessments. This variant is useful for larger research programs where the mentors are less familiar with the research student they are mentoring (e.g., REU programs, students conducting research at a government laboratory, or any research situation where the mentor is willing to provide verbal feedback to students but hesitant to complete an online assessment).

EvaluateUR Small:
- Intended for: Summer and academic year undergraduate research experiences with a single mentor and three or fewer students.
- Description: This variant, featuring mentor and student scoring, is tailored for focused evaluations within smaller, more intimate research settings during summer and academic year programs. Note: There is no charge to request a dashboard to use this option. Due to the small number of research students, no summary statistics are provided.
