ResearchYOU! is a co-curricular research experience designed to improve undergraduate student research skills at a Hispanic-serving institution and provide research mentoring for undergraduate students who may not typically have access to social science research experiences. This multi-faculty capacity-building research experience is composed of three components: (1) learning and development of research skills through virtual synchronous workshops, (2) performing research tasks under the mentorship of faculty members, and (3) submission of a research poster presentation for the University Undergraduate Research Day. In this paper, we describe the inaugural year of the program and present preliminary data that point to initial impacts of the program. [For the full proceedings, see ED631897.]
