BIO Research Experience for Undergraduates Sites (BIO REU Sites) is a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that funds institutions to host undergraduate research programs in the biological sciences.
The program supports multi-week research experiences where cohorts of students work alongside faculty mentors on active research projects in areas spanning molecular biology, ecology, evolution, and other life science disciplines. Sites must offer cohort-based programs with mentoring, professional development, and research skill-building components.
Eligible applicants are academic institutions and research organizations in the United States. Award amounts vary based on the number of participants and program duration. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Supports research and mentoring experiences for undergraduate students to broaden participation in the biological sciences. Supports research and mentoring experiences for undergraduate students to broaden participation in the biological sciences. The Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) participates in the NSF-wide REU program.
The Division for Biological Infrastructure (DBI) manages the REU Site program for BIO. The NSF-wide Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) solicitation governs the overall competition. The following clarifications/explanations are specifically for REU Site proposals submitted to the BIO/DBI.
A BIO-funded REU Site hosts on average 10 students for a summer program lasting approximately 10 weeks long. In BIO, at least 50% of participants must come from outside the host institution. Stipend, meal allowance and travel to and from the REU site must be budgeted.
A small research allowance of $1,000-2,000 per student can be added to Participant Support costs. Over the past several years, Site awards to institutions have the predominant costs under the Participant Support Costs (PSC); typically, PSC constitute 90% or more of the Total Direct Costs. Most awards provide 3 years of funding.
Proposers wanting to request more than 3 years of support should contact the Program Directors.

NSF 26-517 replaces the core solicitations of Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences with a single directorate-wide opportunity. Proposals are accepted anytime, sorted centrally by NSF rather than targeted by the PI, and reorganized under three inquiry areas. Here is what the $280 million actually buys, why the loss of program targeting cuts both ways, and what to do before the September 16 webinar.
