Undergraduate Course-Based Research Poster Fair Collection

In an initiative supported by HHMI and the Sheridan Center, Brown faculty developed or modified courses under the Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURE) model. In a CURE course, students pursue a novel research project in the classroom setting. This collection includes the posters created by students in CURE courses supported by the initiative. The posters were originally presented in one of the Undergraduate Course-Based Research Poster Fairs. DOI: https://doi.org/10.26300/gp73-sg55
