This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $403,732 awarded March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2025 under the Biological Sciences (47.074) program will support the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site: Biosensor Materials for Advanced Research and Technology (BIOSMART) at the Environment/Biotechnology Nexus. Over three summers, the program will provide hands-on biosensor research training to 30 undergraduate students, primarily from underrepresented groups with limited research opportunities. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams on sensor design, materials characterization and field applications. Mentored by faculty teams, participants will gain experience conceptualizing and conducting independent scientific research. They will also take part in career development and equity workshops. The program aims to broaden participation in the biological sciences and strengthen the national research enterprise by exposing students to biosensor opportunities in biology, chemistry, engineering and materials science at NJIT.
