IQ BIO REU is a summer research and student development program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that offers opportunities for undergraduate students from universities and colleges that lack a strong research component and those from groups that have been historically underrepresented in STEM fields.

The program offers training and practice for fluency in quantitative skills, data analysis, and bioinformatics and myriad opportunities for career development.

Program benefits: • Mentored research at the vanguard of biological sciences • Skill development workshops on the use of computational tools (R and Python) • Workshops on Career Development, Research Ethics, among others • Guided writing activities • Social and cultural activities • Stipend of $5,400 • Near-campus housing arranged by the program • Reimbursement for travel to and from REU site
