the new School of Social Work/College of Nursing and Health Innovation Smart Hospital Building.
The Training and Experiential Learning in Biomedical Informatics (TExBioMed) Summer Institute at UTA supports short-term biomedical informatics and data science training that prepares undergraduate students for biomedical informatics and data science graduate studies and research careers.

The research training program is open to all participants, but will focus on increasing educational opportunities for underrepresented students in biomedical, health, and public health informatics while motivating them to pursue careers in these fields, ultimately expanding the talent pool and filling the future needs of the informatics workforce.

11 students will be selected each Summer, from Summer 2023 to Summer 2027.

Research/Mentorship/Networking

  • Mentored research projects and presentation of findings
  • Carefully matched faculty mentors from Schools and Colleges at UTA
  • Academic and career guidance
  • Peer networks for group learning
  • Opportunities to meet top researchers in industry and academia

 

Summer stipend of $7,200 per student

NLM R25 Training Program: Supporting a New Generation of Scientists Courtesy of the National Library of Medicine

As one of the 27 institutes at NIH, the National Library of Medicine supports innovative research and development in biomedical informatics and data science. Through the new R25 program, NLM is developing a new generation of scientists capable of leading biomedical informatics and data science research into the future.
The goal of the NLM’s R25 program is to encourage talented undergraduate and master’s students, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further training and careers in these important fields.
This summer, twelve universities are participating in the inaugural cycle of the program.
Through foundational skills-building and mentorship, the NLM R25 program is strengthening a diverse NIH-supported workforce that will foster scientific innovation, enhance global competitiveness and improve the quality of research.
The National Science Foundation reported that of the U.S citizens and permanent residents who were awarded bachelor’s degrees in science or engineering, only 21% were from underrepresented minority groups and for those awarded doctoral degrees the number drops to 14%.
