This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) will support an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) site program at Binghamton University in Binghamton, NY. Over 3 summers from 2025-2027, the program will train a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, on conducting collaborative research in the area of microbial biofilms. Students will gain hands-on research experience, build scientific and professional skills, and have the opportunity to present their work at conferences.

The $141,063 award will cover student stipends, housing, meals, and travel expenses. Faculty mentors from the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering will oversee student projects organized around three main areas: environmental biofilms, biofilms in engineered systems, and microbiological mechanisms for biofilm control. Students will also participate in professional development workshops and research ethics training. The program aims to provide high-quality, well-mentored research experiences to prepare undergraduates for STEM careers.
