Description
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Institutional Biomedical Undergraduate Research Training (BURT) Program provides funding to institutions of higher education to strengthen research training environments and develop a pool of well-trained undergraduate students who transition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs. The program supports trainees from a single baccalaureate-degree granting organization or community college partnerships. The proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation.
