There is widespread recognition of the need to increase research opportunities in biomedical science for undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds. Here, we describe the implementation of team-based science combined with intensive mentoring to conduct a large-scale project examining the evolution of behavior. This system can be widely applied in other areas of STEM to promote research-intensive opportunities in STEM fields and to promote diversity in science.
Keywords: CURE; evolutionary genetics; research; undergraduate education.
