Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Kern, Amie M.; Olimpo, Jeffrey T. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have emerged as a viable platform to engage large numbers of students in real-world scientific practices. Historically, CUREs have been offered throughout science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curricula at both the introductory and advanced levels and have been facilitated by a…

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…

Smith, Marie A.; Olimpo, Jeffrey T.; Santillan, Karen A.; McLaughlin, Jacqueline S. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
The integration of course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) laboratory curricula has provided new avenues to engage students at all levels in discovery-based learning. Empirical research demonstrates that CUREs have the potential to foster students' development of…

D'Arcy, Christina E.; Lapsov, Leonid; Navarro, Vanessa; Nevarez, Denise; Olimpo, Jeffrey T. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Previously, we described a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) for first-year students that featured a unique approach to brain mapping in a model organism (rat). In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we adapted this course for an online learning environment, emphasizing image analysis (identifying immunoreactive signal in an…

Esparza, David; Wagler, Amy E.; Olimpo, Jeffrey T. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) serve to increase student access to authentic scientific opportunities. Current evidence within the literature indicates that engagement in CUREs promotes students' science identity development, science self-efficacy, motivation, and ability to "think like a scientist." Despite the…

Diaz-Martinez, Laura A.; Fisher, Ginger R.; Esparza, David; Bhatt, Jay M.; D'Arcy, Christina E.; Apodaca, Jennifer; Brownell, Sara; Corwin, Lisa; Davis, William B.; Floyd, Kevin W.; Killion, Patrick J.; Madden, Jaclyn; Marsteller, Patricia; Mayfield-Meyer, Teresa; McDonald, Kelly K.; Rosenberg, Martina; Yarborough, Mark A.; Olimpo, Jeffrey T. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
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…

Olimpo, Jeffrey T.; Apodaca, Jennifer; Hernandez, Aimee A.; Paat, Yok-Fong – Science Education and Civic Engagement, 2019
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) offer a novel avenue for engaging students in the scientific process (Bangera and Brownell, 2014). In contrast to traditional laboratories, CUREs are designed to foster autonomy through student-driven hypothesis generation, experimentation, data analysis, and dissemination of findings…
