This project aims to serve the national interest by implementing evidence-based teaching practices using course based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). Students learn most effectively by doing rather than merely watching and listening. At the undergraduate level in sciences, this translates into learning science by doing science. It is well-known that undergraduates have improved outcomes in performance, persistence, and progress when they engage in hands-on research; that is, doing what scientists in any field do. These improved outcomes could be particularly valuable for students from minoritized groups and first-generation college students. At the same time, access to research experiences as undergraduates in the form of traditional apprenticeship-based laboratory research has historically favored majority-group students. CUREs have been shown to provide some of the same benefits as traditional research experiences, but at a much broader scale, at lower cost, and with shorter time commitments. This project will provide broad access to learning-by-doing in biochemistry research by lowering barriers to implementing CUREs. The project intends to assess participation in a previously developed biochemistry CURE, the Biochemistry Authentic Science Inquiry Laboratory (BASIL). The project will engage with faculty at institutions whose students will most benefit from increased access to research experiences, with a focus on Minority-Serving Institutions. The BASIL CURE is fully implemented on ten campuses. More than 25 other campuses are exploring and/or using parts of the curriculum through prior work. The project will add 50 more campuses to the project over the next 5 years through a series of recruiting and training workshops and through a well-designed mentoring program. The project will focus on Minority-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges, and Community Colleges. The goal of the project is to investigate the processes by which CUREs are adopted, implemented, and sustained with three specific aims: Aim 1. Identify the supports for and barriers to CURE implementation and sustainability across institution types; Aim 2. Characterize the relationship between institutional context and variations in CURE implementation across institution types; and Aim 3. Facilitate implementation and sustainability in diverse contexts through faculty development. The project will collect data from participating faculty by administering and collecting (a) pre-engagement surveys, (b) implementation plans, (c) implementation surveys, and (d) semi-structured interviews. The project will partner with other established CURE communities in the field to assess the process of CURE implementation for any barriers such as impacts of cost, institutional support, or faculty workload. The project will also assess the sustainability of the CURE strategy across participating campuses based on demographics, size, location, and other factors. As a result of this implementation and assessment process, the project seeks to contribute to strengthening the diverse workforce in sciences, technology, and medicine. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过使用基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES）实施循证教学实践来服务于国家利益。学生通过做而不仅仅是看和听来学习最有效。在理科本科阶段，这转化为通过做科学来学习科学。众所周知，当大学生从事实践研究时，他们在表现，坚持和进步方面都有改善;也就是说，做任何领域的科学家所做的事情。这些改进的结果对于少数群体的学生和第一代大学生来说特别有价值。与此同时，以传统学徒制为基础的实验室研究形式获得本科生的研究经验历来有利于多数群体的学生。CURE已被证明提供了一些与传统研究经验相同的好处，但规模更大，成本更低，时间更短。该项目将通过降低实施CURE的障碍，提供广泛的生物化学研究边做边学的机会。 该项目旨在评估参与先前开发的生物化学CURE，生物化学真实科学调查实验室（BASIL）。该项目将与教师在机构的学生将最受益于增加获得研究经验，重点是少数民族服务机构。BASIL CURE在10个校区全面实施。超过25个其他校区正在探索和/或通过先前的工作使用课程的一部分。该项目将在未来5年内通过一系列招聘和培训研讨会以及精心设计的指导计划增加50个校园。该项目将重点关注少数民族服务机构、历史上的黑人学院和大学、部落学院和社区学院。该项目的目标是调查采用、实施和维持CURE的过程，有三个具体目标：目标1。确定跨机构类型的CURE实施和可持续性的支持和障碍;目标2。描述机构背景和不同机构类型的CURE实施之间的关系;目标3。通过教师发展促进不同背景下的实施和可持续性。该项目将通过管理和收集（a）参与前调查，（B）实施计划，（c）实施调查和（d）半结构化访谈，从参与教师那里收集数据。 该项目将与该领域其他已建立的CURE社区合作，评估CURE实施过程中的任何障碍，如成本，机构支持或教师工作量的影响。 该项目还将根据人口统计、规模、位置和其他因素，评估CURE战略在参与校园中的可持续性。 由于这一实施和评估过程，该项目力求为加强科学、技术和医学领域的多样化劳动力做出贡献。NSF IUSE：EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
