The goal of the Undergraduate Research and Mentoring in the Biological Sciences program is to increase the number and diversity of individuals pursuing graduate studies in all areas of biological research supported by the National Science Foundation Directorate for Biological Sciences. Support will be provided to academic institutions to establish innovative programs to engage undergraduates in a year-round research and mentoring activity. Particular emphasis will be placed on broadening participation of members of groups historically underrepresented in science and engineering: (1) African Americans, (2) Alaska Natives, (3) American Indians, (4) Hispanic Americans, (5) Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, and (6) persons with disabilities.

The URM program expects to make at least eight awards, pending availability of funds. The anticipated funding amount is $3 million for new standard or continuing awards in fiscal year 2010.
