ABSTRACT
Research opportunities for undergraduate students are strongly advantageous, but implementation at a large scale presents numerous challenges. The enormous diversity of the bacteriophage population and a supportive programmatic structure provide opportunities to engage early-career undergraduates in phage discovery, genomics, and genetics. The Science Education Alliance (SEA) is an inclusive Research-Education Community (iREC) providing centralized programmatic support for students and faculty without prior experience in virology at institutions from community colleges to research-active universities to participate in two course-based projects, SEA-PHAGES (SEA Phage Hunters Advancing Genomic and Evolutionary Science) and SEA-GENES (SEA Gene-function Exploration by a Network of Emerging Scientists). Since 2008, the SEA has supported more than 50,000 undergraduate researchers who have isolated more than 23,000 bacteriophages of which more than 4,500 are fully sequenced and annotated. Students have functionally characterized hundreds of phage genes, and the phage collection has fueled the therapeutic use of phages for treatment of Mycobacterium infections. Participation in the SEA promotes student persistence in science education, and its inclusivity promotes a more equitable scientific community.
