Raynard S. Kington, Acting Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced summer research opportunities for students and teachers, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
The NIH hopes to provide at least $20 million to fund summer programs for 4,000 to 6,000 students and educators. The goal of the grant program is to connect students with teachers who can help them identify a lifelong interest in a particular field of scientific research.
