Abstract
Undergraduate research (UR) experiences continue to proliferate across all higher education settings. Yet community-based research (CBR) experiences account for a small percentage of UR opportunities. This paper describes the pilot study results of a summer program that is intentionally expanding the paradigm for UR at a public research university to include CBR as an equally valued form of scholarship. Results indicate that CBR opportunities expand participation by underrepresented students in UR. Dedicated program administration by CBR faculty and unique recruitment, design, and programs contributed to program success.
