Abstract
The National Conferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is an annual celebration of undergraduate creative and scholarly activity in all academic disciplines. Now in its 14th year of existence, NCUR owes much of its success to leadership and participation from those in the discipline of chemistry. This paper presents a brief history of NCUR, describes the magnitude and influence of chemistry on the conferences, and discusses the NCUR/Lancy Initiative.
Supplement
A list of institutions, grouped by Carnegie classification, that sent three or more chemistry presenters to any of the previous five conferences and a description of the Carnegie categories of institutions are available.
