The PARE project is a low time commitment, low cost module to engage undergraduates in assessing the Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant microbes in the Environment. The module takes about 2 class periods in which students use standard microbiological techniques to report collection and resistance data into a national database. Additional opportunities for classroom project expansion and high school partnerships exist. Now accepting applications for spring 2017 implementation (Seed funding ($500) available for supplies + $750 travel assistance for travel to ASMCUE in July 2017).
