The NSF Biological Sciences Department is offering the Undergraduate Research and Mentoring (URM) grant to increase the number and diversity of individuals pursuing graduate studies in biological research. This grant is for academic institutions to establish innovative, year-round research and mentoring programs for undergraduates. A key purpose is to broaden participation among groups historically underrepresented in science and engineering, including African Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Pacific Islanders, and persons with disabilities. The program aims to engage students deeply in scientific inquiry and prepare them for advanced biological research careers, fostering a more inclusive scientific community.
