This $275,638 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund an 8-week Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) over a 3-year period. The REU program will provide 24 undergraduate students, primarily from minority-serving and primarily undergraduate institutions, with immersive training in multidisciplinary and community-engaged research methods focused on factors shaping youth development and community well-being. Students will gain hands-on experience in all aspects of the research process, including study design, ethics, data analysis, scientific writing, and public dissemination. The program aims to cultivate a diverse pipeline of future scientists equipped with the skills to conduct integrative, stakeholder-engaged research that can inform programming and policy to benefit society.
