Biological Collections in Ecology and Evolution Network (BCEENET) brings together natural history collections (NHC) professionals, undergraduate educators, data experts, and researchers to support the development and implementation of Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) using digitized natural history collections (dNHC) data. dNHC CUREs can be implemented in both online and in-person formats, and only require student access to a computer and the internet, making them available to students without access to traditional laboratory resources. BCEENET supports robust online communication between education and collections communities to promote collaboration and provides training opportunities directly supporting the CUREs. Support to develop four CUREs during summer 2020 was provided by a RAPID-COVID grant, and BCEENET has continued to offer implementer support for the CUREs ever since. Ongoing goals: 1. Broadening institutional and student participation by increasing awareness of dNHC CUREs, 2. Providing training, online resources, and peer support for CURE implementation, and 3. Connecting members across professional groups to facilitate collaboration.
