Description
This NIH funding opportunity supports the development and implementation of summer research education programs that provide hands-on research experiences for high school students, undergraduate students, or high school science teachers. The primary aim is to foster a deeper understanding of biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research, and to stimulate interest in research careers. Programs should offer authentic, open-ended research experiences in laboratory or field settings, complemented by activities such as scientific writing, presentation skills, and training in rigor and reproducibility. The program must fit within the mission of the participating NIH Institute or Center (IC) to which the application is submitted and should not be a general STEM program.
