A persistent underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the United States has remained consistent for several years (Hill, Corbett, & St. Rose, 2010; Digest of Education Statistics, 2014). Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have been repeatedly shown to lead to positive outcomes including interest in STEM, retention, preparation for graduate school, and increased personal and professional benefits for undergraduate students (Barnes, 2015; Zhan, 2014; Espinosa, 2011; Barlow & Villajero, 2004; Campbell & Skoog, 2004; Kardash, 2000; Maton & Hrabowski, 2000). However, accessible UREs specifically for women and women of color in STEM are rare. Therefore, research frameworks that involve women and women of color in STEM in the implementation of inclusive UREs are needed. PAR is a form of engaged, human inquiry that orients the researcher toward action-centered practice, focusing on reflection and collaboration with participants to bring about "meaningful change" in the context of social justice (Herr & Anderson, 2015; Chevalier & Buckles, 2013; Brydon-Miller & Maguire, 2008, p. 79). To ultimately inform program development at the university level, the current study applies PAR with women co-researchers in STEM as a research approach to explore the experience of women conducting/seeking STEM UREs. The study also includes a process evaluation of the co-researchers' experience with PAR.
