Undergraduate research (UR) has been recognized as a high impact practice to improve student content mastery, retention, and graduation rates in STEM fields. Compared to an independent, mentored research experience, a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) can serve a larger population of students without requiring an extensive additional time commitment from either faculty or students. We invite presentations that discuss important aspects of development, assessment, and/or benefits of CUREs on student learning. Furthermore, we encourage presenters to share the challenges faculty face in developing and teaching these courses through the COVID pandemic. Presentations are not limited to CUREs that provide full or authentic research experiences but may also include CUREs that prepare students for a full research experience (pre-CURE) by only focusing on certain elements of a full research experience, such as writing research questions or making scientific arguments. Discussion of CUREs for lecture courses are encouraged.
