The National Institutes of Health has renewed the R25 grant which funds the Bioengineering Summer Biodesign Immersion Experience, adding up to a full decade of funding for the summer immersion capstone experience for undergraduates. PI Professor Amy Herr founded and directs the summer experience, an innovative 8-week summer program that prepares bioengineers to connect engineering innovation and unmet clinical needs.
With this renewal, the summer program is now funded through 2021!
