This National Science Foundation Engineering Education and Centers award provides $463,231 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology through April 2025 to support an Undergraduate Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site project focused on cancer diagnosis and therapeutic intervention research. As part of the NSF's Engineering grant program (CFDA 47.041), 10 undergraduate students annually will engage in 10-week research experiences in fields like physics, biochemistry, and various engineering disciplines to foster innovation in cancer diagnostics and treatment. Students will work with faculty mentors on dynamic cancer-related research projects and participate in professional development activities. The program aims to increase participation in research by underrepresented minority groups and prepare students for graduate programs and careers in cancer innovation through co-authoring publications and conference presentations.
