Abstract: The main goal of the CSA program is to promote and support the university scholar model. University scholars are faculty members who have both excellent research programs and excellent approaches to student learning at the undergraduate level.
Desired outcomes of the CSA program include:
• A culture shift in PhD granting institutions toward valuing the university scholar
• Increased attraction and retention of undergraduates in science
• Increased undergraduates from Ph.D. granting institutions pursuing graduate degrees
A key objective of the program is to build a community of outstanding scholar-educators who are dedicated to becoming leaders in both research and teaching and collectively, have the potential to change the way science is taught nationally. Scholars are required to attend at least two annual Cottrell Scholars conferences while the award is active. The annual Cottrell Scholars conference seeks to promote community amongst Cottrell Scholars and is held in early July in Tucson, AZ.
