This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) provides $540,000 to New York University (NYU) to fund the "CCL-IGNITE" initiative. This 5-year project aims to increase representation in rehabilitation and creative health professions research by deploying a mentorship-based curriculum for high school and middle school students from underrepresented groups. Key expected outcomes include engaging 150 high school students in summer research pathways and 300 middle school students in early exposure activities, developing novel science education resources, and conducting a rigorous impact evaluation to improve evidence-based practices. The project leverages partnerships between NYU faculty and the College and Career Lab to promote STEM career pathways in rehabilitation and creative health professions.
