Undergraduate Research: Undergraduate Research in Action

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) was developed to support networking among faculty developing, teaching, and assessing CUREs, to share CURE projects and resources, and to develop new tools and strategies for CURE instruction and assessment.

Students in a Population and Community Ecology class participate in coastal marine research focused on understanding factors determining population sizes and community interactions, particularly in the context of species that appear to be shifting their ranges with climate change.

Students in a community-college introductory Environmental Studies course extract soil samples from a SuperFund site. They analyze toxins through reagent chemical tests, read peer-reviewed articles to enhance and promote scientific literacy, to examine impacts of environmental toxins on human health and development, and to discuss equity and environmental racism.

Students use agar art made with freshly isolated microbes as a source for developing their own novel research projects.

The RockEDU Science Outreach is a collaborative and creative team of scientists, educators, and support staff works at the intersection of basic science research and K-12 science education to create innovative and flexible science resources and programs that promote equitable access to and an appreciation for the scientific process

In these short stories, undergraduate research students and faculty reflect on their interests and experiences as they share the unexpected insights that have illuminated their paths—their "lightbulb moments."

The primary goals of this program are to introduce our research and training programs to non-NYU students, and to diversify the scientific workforce in the field of biology.

The Outreach branch of CURB is focused on the connection between Cornell undergraduates and the Ithaca community.
