Looking for CURE instructors for mentorship study

Dear CUREnet Community,

I am Josh Fandel, a PhD student studying biology education research with Dr. Jenny Knight at CU Boulder. I'm trying to characterize mentorship, an important component of independent undergraduate research experiences, in course-based research (i.e., CUREs).

To gather data, I plan to administer a set of surveys to students enrolled in course-based research classes in Fall 2024, ideally at institutions across the country.

If you teach a CURE and think you may be able to help out with this study by allowing me to survey your students three times (beginning, middle, and end) next school term, then please fill out the survey below (4 short queries), and I'll reach out with more details.

Thank you for your time, and please feel free to email me (joshua.fandel@colorado.edu) if you have any questions!

Best,

Josh Fandel
