To help you sharpen your science skills and develop both professionally and personally, we have worked with Institutes and Centers (ICs) and Training Offices across the NIH to develop a summer-long series of activities. These online offerings will focus on the exciting science we do at the NIH and on important career, professional development, and wellness topics for students at all educational levels. We encourage you to look at all the program offerings and identify events that will help you achieve your scientific and career goals.

This grant will provide underrepresented University of Iowa junior and senior student researchers a generous annual stipend for their research as well as cover a portion of in-state or out-of state tuition. We are excited to begin this next phase and join the community of NIH MARC programs across the US that are working to increase and support the diversity of researchers in the scientific workforce.

IBA and LSAMP had 17 students graduating this Spring! This group of students showed their resiliency weathering the challenges of conducting undergraduate research during a pandemic. We will miss all of these amazing students and we can't wait to see what they will accomplish as the move through their education and careers!
