In science, the best way to learn science is to do science. One obstacle that hinders the opportunity to provide all undergraduate students novel research experiences in genomics is that online tools often change rapidly, such that any curriculum development done by an individual faculty member is often obsolete after a couple of years. A second obstacle that hinders research experiences for undergraduates is the high cost associated with laboratory-based research projects. To address these issues, a partnership was formed that is a collaboration of over 250 faculty from around the country that collaborate to provide Classroom Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) in Genomics. This collaboration of faculty is called the Genomics Education Partnership, the GEP. The GEP provides faculty professional development opportunities, software tools, and an overarching project framework that allow faculty at Primarily undergraduate institutions to provide publishable research projects in courses for no cost. The GEP engages in the scholarship of teaching and learning by assessing both faculty and students, including surveys on implementation, Student pre- and post- course surveys and quizzes that assess personal agency, conceptions about science, and student interests, as well as persistence and determination in science. Collaborations of this type may help faculty in other fields to provide learning opportunities for students that they could not do on their own in their courses.
