Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded $340,300 to Pepperdine University on April 15, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on biological adaptations to stress. The award will fund an intensive 10-week summer research program training eight undergraduate students annually for three years (2026-2028). Participants will engage in genuine research experiences across molecular, cellular, and ecological subdisciplines while working closely with faculty mentors to develop competencies in field, laboratory, and quantitative biology approaches. Students will receive professional training in scientific writing and presentation, with most expected to present their findings at scientific conferences. Beyond direct research mentorship, the program delivers broader educational outcomes including K-12 outreach activities designed by student participants and systematic program assessment conducted through pre- and post-program surveys. The initiative prioritizes recruitment of students with limited research opportunities and emphasizes development of critical scientific skills while advancing knowledge on how living systems respond to stress. Research activities align with National Science Foundation priorities in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, ultimately aiming to inspire participants to pursue careers in biological research, applied science, or science education.
