An interdisciplinary, collaborative CURE to investigate mutagen-sensitive alleles in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>.

ABSTRACT: Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are an effective strategy to teach students about the process of scientific research. Students participating in a CURE also benefit in numerous other ways, such as gaining increased enthusiasm for science and increased retention in a STEM field. Because scientific research is increasingly interdisciplinary and collaborative, recently developed CUREs have begun to incorporate interdisciplinary approaches and networking components. Interdisciplinary, networked CUREs have, in several cases, expanded learning gains for participating students beyond the benefits of traditional CUREs. Here, we describe a novel interdisciplinary, collaborative CURE. Our CURE was launched with four participating primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and
