  1. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) provide valuable opportunities to large numbers of students relatively early in their academic careers and have the potential to attract and retain women and students from underrepresented minority groups both in the sciences and in other technical fields requiring quantitative research literacy. To evaluate the relative success of a multidisciplinary CURE, we compared background characteristics, course experiences and outcomes of men and women under-represented (URM) and non-underrepresented students. Though URM and non-URM students of both genders differed on many background characteristics, and self-reported course experiences, with few exceptions, positive course outcomes and predictors of those outcomes did not differ by URM/gender group. The Passion-Driven Statistics CURE aims to equip the future STEM workforce with the data analysis skills and reasoning needed across industries. Additional research is needed to determine whether this CURE may influence educational and career trajectories for women and URM students.
