Develop your Ideas for your CURE

You need a Title for your CURE

As you plan your CURE be sure to include all nine components of research: the approach below is based on CURENet guidelines for CUREs. Linked Examples are taken from OUR CURENet entry for “An Introduction to Chemical Thinking Through the Lens of Antimalarial Drug Design”

You need a brief (one paragraph) description of the science and background for your CURE Research Project.

This should include the relevance (research component 1) and necessary science background (research compoent 2) the project is based on, include a few essential references.

You need student centered learning goals

You need overall scientific research questions the CURE will address

You need some teaching approaches to help students develop their hypotheses (research component 3)

You need a teaching approach that helps students develop a meaningful research proposal (research component 4)

You need a way to connect the predictions that students hypotheses make to experiments that can be done by the students, or through appropriate collaborations (research component 5)

You need to plan how students have a chance to repeat important experiments that they do (research component 6)

You need to incorporate approaches for appropriate data analysis and presentation (research element 7)

Plan some type of final presentation event (research component 8)

Incorporate peer review (research component 9) into your plans so students both engage in and respond to peer review.
