The course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) model of STEM pedagogy has been successful in integrating authentic experimental research into the conventional undergraduate curriculum, making laboratory research experiences accessible to a wider range of students, with positive impacts on retention, persistence, and inclusivity especially for underrepresented students and those from first-generation…
