This article describes an experiential undergraduate honors research program for minority students. Through a participatory and mentoring process students are able to complete a research project, present it at a national colloquium, and prepare it for publication in a 2-year program. A review of the literature on different methods to teach research was presented. The outcome of the project suggests the model was highly successful in achieving its goals.
