NIH UO R25

The University of Oregon R25 Summer Research Program (NIH UO R25) offers fellowship opportunities for undergraduates to participate in ongoing NICHD funded research in a 10-week mentored research program. The NIH UO R25 Program concluded in 2022.

The aims of the program include contributing to the national efforts to diversify the pool of highly trained biomedical researchers, enhancing access to research careers for students with limited access to research facilities and experience, and training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to be effective mentors. Students who identify as members of historically underrepresented groups in the sciences, including minority, disadvantaged, low socio-economic status, first generation college, students with disabilities, and students from institutions offering only limited access to research opportunities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Supported research projects have important implications for human health, among them, neural developmental disorders and birth defects, congenital heart defects, muscle rehabilitation, motoneuron diseases and injuries, autism, left-right asymmetry, and craniofacial abnormalities.

The University of Oregon R25 Summer Research Program is generously supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health under award number R25HD0708.
