Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been proposed as a mechanism to democratize access to the benefits of apprentice-style scientific research to a broader diversity of students, promoting inclusivity and increasing student success and retention. As we evaluate CUREs, it is essential to explore their effectiveness within…

Diaz-Martinez, Laura A.; Hernandez, Aimee A.; D'Arcy, Christina E.; Corral, Stephanie; Bhatt, Jay M.; Esparza, David; Rosenberg, Martina; Olimpo, Jeffrey T. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), which often engage students as early as freshman year, have become increasingly common in biology curricula. While many studies have highlighted the benefits of CUREs, little attention has been paid to responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) education in such contexts. Given this…

Daniels, Heather A.; Grineski, Sara E.; Collins, Timothy W.; Frederick, Angela H. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Gender disparities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are well documented, yet little is known about how women and men students establish social relationships with research mentors and peers and how that shapes their experiences in STEM. We conducted a series of interviews with 17 undergraduate students from a Hispanic…

Lachance, Katherine; Heustis, Ronald J.; Loparo, Joseph J.; Venkatesh, Madhvi J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Research skills, especially in experimental design, are essential for success in bioscience doctoral training. While there is a growing body of literature on the development of research skills among science, technology, engineering, and mathematics doctoral students, very little is specific to biosciences. We seek to address this gap by…

Meyer, Rika; Sohani, Madhura; Alvares, Stacy M.; Hunt, Katharine; Sciabarra, Christina; Gapinskim, Jacqueline Goeres – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Undergraduate research experiences have been widely demonstrated as a beneficial and essential component of the college experience. However, many community colleges face barriers and lack of support in implementing such research programs, which means a significant number of community college students miss out on these impactful experiences.…

Branchaw, Janet L.; Butz, Amanda R.; Smith, Amber R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
The second edition of "Entering Research" (ER) is a collection of customizable active-learning activities, resources, and assessment and evaluation tools for use in undergraduate and graduate research training programs and courses. Results from two design and development research studies examining the effectiveness of the second edition…

Cooper, A. C.; Southard, K. M.; Osness, J. B.; Bolger, M. S. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Limited access to undergraduate research experiences for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students has led to creation of classroom-based opportunities for students to participate in authentic science. Revising laboratory courses to engage students in the practices of science has been shown to have many benefits for students.…

Monarrez, Angelica; Morales, Danielle; Echegoyen, Lourdes E.; Seira, Diego; Wagler, Amy E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Summer undergraduate research experience (SURE) programs are proven interventions that provide undergraduate students with opportunities to develop research skills under the mentorship of a faculty member. These are essential programs, particularly for members of underrepresented minorities, because SUREs are known to broaden their participation…

In this study, propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to examine differences in the effectiveness of research mentor training (RMT) implemented using two modes--face-to-face or synchronous online training. This study investigated each training mode and assessed participants' perceived gains in mentoring skills, ability to meet mentees'…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) introduce research leading to skills acquisition and increased persistence in the major. CUREs generate enthusiasm and interest in doing science and serve as an intervention to increase equity and participation of historically marginalized students. In the second-semester laboratory of our…

Jensen-Ryan, Danielle; Murren, Courtney J.; Rutter, Matthew T.; Thompson, Jennifer Jo – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Biology research is becoming increasingly dependent on large-scale, "big data," networked research initiatives. At the same time, there has been a corresponding effort to expand undergraduate participation in research to benefit student learning and persistence in science. This essay examines the confluence of this trend through eight…

Sellami, Nadia; Toven-Lindsey, Brit; Levis-Fitzgerald, Marc; Barber, Paul H.; Hasson, Tama – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Low persistence in science majors and limited participation in high-impact research experiences contribute to the nationwide underrepresentation of minorities in the science workforce, particularly jobs requiring a graduate degree. The Program for Excellence in Education and Research in the Sciences (PEERS) is an academic support program at the…

Advancement of the scientific enterprise relies on individuals conducting research in anethical and responsible manner. Educating emergent scholars in the principles of ethics/responsible conduct of research (E/RCR) is therefore critical to ensuring such advancement. The recent impetus to include authentic research opportunities as part of the…
