This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $600,000 over 4 years to the University of Alabama. The goal is to develop the REEU (Research and Education Experiences for Undergraduates) program to recruit and train 40 food and nutrition undergraduate students, with at least 60% from underrepresented groups. The program will provide a 10-week summer research experience, with the aim that at least 75% of the students will apply to advanced training or graduate programs in food science, nutrition, medicine, or related fields. This effort will expand on the university's prior internally-funded REU program by recruiting a larger and more diverse pool of students, collaborating with additional mentors, enriching campus and off-campus experiences, and strengthening the program evaluation plan.
