This federal Project Grant award of $489,696 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The goal of the "Integrated Insect-Plant Research and Extension Experiences REEU" is to develop the next generation of scientists through a 10-week summer program that: 1) nurtures STEM career interest, 2) develops science communication skills, 3) provides extension education experience, and 4) impacts the career decisions of undergraduate scholars. Students will engage in research and extension opportunities focused on insects in agroecosystems, including pollinators, pests, and disease vectors. The program will integrate extension and science communication theory and practice, and provide professional development support. The award was granted to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, a public, land-grant research university, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028.
