Opportunity for Active EFRI, ERC and IUCRC Awardees to Apply for Supplemental Funding through the Research Experience and Mentoring (REM) Program

The REM Program supports the active involvement of research participants (high school students, STEM teachers, guidance counselors and academic advisors, undergraduate STEM students, faculty, and veterans) in hands-on research to bring participants into collaboration with suitable STEM mentors and expose them to a rich research experience. Research participants must be recruited as cohorts to facilitate mentoring and research activities, community building, and provide mutual support. NSF encourages EFRI-, ERC-, and IUCRC-supported researchers to create structured mentored research opportunities for high school students, STEM teachers, guidance counselors and academic advisors, undergraduate STEM students, faculty, and veterans who may not otherwise become engaged in a research project, and to utilize the contributions and talents of these participants to make further progress toward research goals. Research experiences and mentorship have been positively correlated with STEM trainee success
