Dear Colleague, Recent reports indicate that federal agencies are scaling back support for student research and internship programs. The National Science Foundation is shrinking support for its Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. The agency recently declined to renew several REU grants, forcing some universities to cancel plans to host students this summer. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health has paused its Summer Internship Program, with plans to resume in 2026.
In response to these setbacks, AIBS is compiling a resource to highlight alternative summer programs for students and early-career scientists. Our goal is to help ensure continued professional development for the next generation of scientists. We need your help. If your society or organization offers or is aware of any summer research or internship opportunities for students and early career scientists, please share the details with us at [email protected]. With summer fast approaching, we’re aiming for a quick turnaround and hope to make this resource available as early as next week. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jyotsna Pandey Director of Community Programs American Institute of Biological Sciences 950 Herndon Parkway Suite 450 Herndon, VA 20170 http://www.aibs.org -- This message is confidential and should only be read by its intended recipients.
