Abstract
Project FUSION (Facilitating Urban Science Initiatives by Organizational Networking) links scientifically sound, culturally relevant community-based research initiatives to a network of higher education institutions and community-based organizations. Project participants recognize chemistry as the central science and learn of its importance to science exploration at all academic levels. Roxbury Community College, a bridge for economically disadvantaged students aspiring to attend four-year colleges and universities, serves as the research hub for Project FUSION. Expanding on the model of the previous NIGMS-funded ATOMS program, the efforts of Project FUSION increased student participation while also making it a more stable and transferrable program. Results from this project show that culturally relevant community-based research programs supported by organizational networking can have a profound effect on student participation in undergraduate research.
