The NIH GROW Program is a research capacity-building initiative designed to enhance the research capacity at contracted institutions, increase student access to research opportunities, and support for STEM education in service of national competitiveness. The NIH GROW Program has two distinct tracks based on career level: one for high school students and another for undergraduate students.
