Broaden Participation in Undergraduate Research Experiences

We endeavor to expand opportunities for students to engage in real-world science research. Our inquiry-based teaching model focuses on providing course based undergraduate research experience (CURE) as part of novel, introductory courses.

What we can do for you:

  • Provide training and resources for developing institutional strategic plans.
  • Develop collaborations on industry relevant research projects.
  • Provide access to a national network of experienced professionals.
  • Provide access to instruments and equipment.
  • Provide customized faculty development workshops.

Involving More Students in Authentic Research

The Student Research Hub was established to expand opportunities for undergraduates to participate in research experiences at community colleges throughout the country. Student research experiences have long been considered a high impact practice in higher education, and InnovATEBIO is committed to ensuring that all students have access to these opportunities. The Student Research Hub utilizes best practices that have been identified by the Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative (CCURI) and the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR). Through CCURI we provide resources for a network of over 120 institutional partners.

Hub staff work with community college partners to help them build strategic plans for implementing research into their programs and provide training on a variety of research techniques. In addition, the Hub sponsors novel research projects that are designed to provide collaboration opportunities for community college partners. Students in our partner programs have become highly competitive in obtaining additional research experiences, such as through NSF REU projects, and have presented at national conferences, such as the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR).
