The National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded a Project Grant of $460,357 to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on June 1, 2026, to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Plant Pathology. This three-year program will provide immersive research training to 10 undergraduate students annually during 10-week summer sessions from 2026 through 2028. Students will conduct laboratory and field research investigating plant pathogen mechanisms and plant defense responses, with projects examining pathogen evolution, geographic distribution, pathogenesis mechanisms, and molecular plant-pathogen interactions in contexts of abiotic and biotic stress. The program directly supports NSF's biotechnology priorities and addresses critical national interests in crop productivity, food security, and biosecurity. Beyond laboratory and field research components, the REU Site delivers professional development through campus-wide workshops designed to build transferable career and soft skills aligned with participants' future career objectives. The program culminates in a research symposium where students present their findings. Assessment mechanisms utilizing pre- and post-program surveys will evaluate program effectiveness. Prospective participants apply through NSF's Education and Training Application (ETAP) portal. Under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, this award supports workforce development in biological research while generating research outputs that advance understanding of plant diseases and their economic and security implications.Federal Grant Award Summary
