NIGMS' SUMMER RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR UNDERGRADUATES: The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) recognizes the increasing trend toward the use of interdisciplinary approaches to advance the nation's biomedical research endeavor and thus the need to encourage cross-disciplinary training for the next generation of researchers. Therefore, this RFA seeks to encourage cross-training of undergraduate students in the quantitative and physical sciences by providing opportunities to take part in mentored research experiences with NIH-supported biomedical investigators. Such programs should provide innovative, mentored, realistic summer laboratory research experiences for an appropriately targeted (as defined by the applicant) group of undergraduate students in biomedical research projects at the applicant institution. The proposed plan of undergraduate interdisciplinary research training should include strong faculty involvement, interactive group activities, presentations, and seminars. Applications are sought for programs that recruit students from the quantitative and physical disciplines such as, but not limited to, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and physics, to participate in biomedical and/or translational research.
