NIH R25 Summer Research Education Experience Program is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds universities and institutions of higher education to provide summer research experiences in environmental health sciences to high school students, college undergraduates, and science teachers. Administered through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the program aims to attract young people to scientific careers and help teachers communicate about the scientific process more effectively. Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions eligible for NIH grants. The application deadline was March 17, 2026.
Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE) is a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) that funds innovative graduate training programs at Canadian universities. The program supports collaborative, integrative approaches to training highly qualified students and postdoctoral researchers, preparing them for careers in industry, government, NGOs, and academia. Funded programs must foster professional skill development alongside technical expertise and encourage student mobility across institutions. For the current competition, NSERC will fund one CREATE initiative aligned with Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy, with priority areas including quantum communications, quantum sensing, quantum materials, and quantum computing. Eligible applicants are Canadian university faculty leading graduate training programs. Awards provide $1,650,000 over six years. The Letter of Intent deadline is May 1, 2026, with full applications due September 22, 2026.
