\r\n

The Office of Undergraduate Research is proud to pilot a CUREs workshop to support faculty in developing course-based undergraduate research experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What is a CURE? Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

…a project that engages whole classes of students in addressing a research question or problem that is of interest to the scientific community.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Key Features of CUREs:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  • CUREs offer opportunities for students to make discoveries that are of interest to stakeholders outside the classroom (e.g., the broader scientific community).<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  • Students’ work is iterative, meaning that students must trouble-shoot, problem-solve, and repeat aspects of their work for the research to progress.<\/span><\/li>\r\n
  • CUREs offer opportunities for students to communicate their research results to those stakeholders.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    Application Deadline: Friday, August 23, 2024<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n
