Research & Education Integration: CUREs Program Opportunity

September 21, 2022

Want to broaden access to undergraduate research experiences in integrative biology? CUREs could be an answer!  Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are a way to allow more and diverse students the opportunity to experience research by embedding real research projects into courses students might take as part of their normal coursework. CUREs can be a full-semester course in which the focus is the work on the research project, or they can be a multi-week research module embedded within a course. 

Stephanie Gardner has worked with instructors in one-on-one or in cohort models to train and support them as they develop and teach CUREs.  Within the EMBRIO Institute engaging students in interdisciplinary research is a priority, incorporating imaging, simulation and computation, as relevant to the project.  Stephanie is excited to work with interested EMBRIO graduate students, postdocs, research scientists, and faculty on CUREs.
