N2 - We consider the issue of introducing undergraduates to the research mission of a university. Noting that there are several ways of doing this, we consider how wide the derived benefit may be: to interns and the wider student community. Deploying a particular, but known, model, we have monitored all aspects of the process with care to determine strengths and weaknesses. We determine that short, in-house research internships can be beneficial to all stakeholders and suggest some best practice.
