This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Delaware State University's inclusive Research Experiences for Undergraduates site award from 2024 through 2027. The award will provide high-impact interdisciplinary summer research experiences in cellular and molecular biology to 30 undergraduate students, primarily from historically black colleges and universities and other institutions with limited research opportunities. Students will conduct varied research projects in neuroscience, microbiology, climate change stress response, and machine learning. They will learn research skills, present results at conferences, and receive professional development support. The program aims to broaden participation in STEM fields by increasing underrepresented groups' involvement in research. Assessment and tracking will evaluate career outcomes. This award reflects the NSF's mission to support merit-reviewed projects advancing science and education.
