The Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Inclusive Excellence initiative funded 57 institutions to improve capacity to include all students in STEM education and research activities. At Towson University, a professional development (PD) program funded by this initiative helped STEM faculty design course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and incorporate inclusive approaches in class instruction. Core components of the PD centered around training in diversity, equity, and inclusion approaches. An overview of the PD program is presented along with common barriers to creating CUREs and potential solutions for sustaining these pedagogical changes. Over five years, 35 faculty developed 25 CUREs in biology, chemistry, computer science, math, and geosciences. Many aspects of this PD can be maintained without external funding and can be replicated elsewhere.
