Abstract
● Inclusion of undergraduates in authentic research is an effective tool to increase interest and competency in a research career.
● Not all undergraduate students are able to participate in these formal research opportunities.
● To expand the connection of undergraduate students with researchers and educators, a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) was developed to engage students through their undergraduate institution.
● This CURE provided undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR), an opportunity to participate in ongoing environmental
and community-based research and increase their interest, familiarity and confidence in research.
● A collaboration was formed between UMR, the University of Minnesota Extension and the Rochester, MN community.
● Students investigated the microbial community of soils with and without invasive jumping worms.
