Survey of Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE)
This is a validated instrument for evaluating undergraduate research programs, particularly in the sciences, which was developed by and administered through David Lopatto of Grinnell College. It consists of three different parts to capture attitudes before, during, and after the research program.
