The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Undergraduate Biology and Mathematics (UBM) grant to enhance interdisciplinary education and training for undergraduates. This grant aims to prepare biology and mathematics students for graduate studies and careers integrating these fields. At its core, the UBM activity supports genuine, long-term research experiences for balanced teams of undergraduates, requiring joint mentorship from faculty in both disciplines. Projects must focus on contemporary research at the intersection of mathematical and biological sciences, utilizing modern tools. Furthermore, this grant is for strengthening institutional research and education capacity, fostering new models for academic programs, and influencing the direction of interdisciplinary studies for a broad range of students. It is a collaborative effort by NSF’s EHR, BIO, and MPS Directorates.

| Description: | The goal of the Undergraduate Biology and Mathematics (UBM) activity is to enhance undergraduate education and training at the intersection of the biological and mathematical sciences and to better prepare undergraduate biology or mathematics students to pursue graduate study and careers in fields that integrate the mathematical and biological sciences. The core of the activity is jointly-conducted long-term research experiences for interdisciplinary balanced teams of at least two undergraduates from departments in the biological and mathematical sciences. Projects should focus on research at the intersection of the mathematical and biological sciences. Projects should provide students exposure to contemporary mathematics and biology, addressed with modern research tools and methods. That is, projects must be genuine research experiences rather than rehearsals of research methods. Projects must involve students from both areas in collaborative research experiences and include joint mentorship by faculty in both fields. In addition, it is expected that projects will strengthen the research and education capacity, infrastructure, and culture of the participating institutions. To this end, projects should create models for education in the mathematical and biological sciences and influence the direction of academic programs for a broad range of students. It is expected that project leadership will come from faculty in both the mathematical and biological sciences. UBM is a joint effort of the Education and Human Resources (EHR), Biological Sciences (BIO), and Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Directorates at the National Science Foundation (NSF). |
