New announcement from the NIH - apparently they're going to use some of their stimulus money to fund...
Wait for it...
Undergraduate students for the summer!
The announcement reads remarkably like one for the NSF REU program. The application doesn't look too onerous. And it's on paper, not grants.gov (I wonder why? <--- sarcasm). If you have some enthusiastic undergraduates who want to work for you, here's your chance to get them paid for ($10/hour - a bit below the NSF going rate of $10.60/hour). Just keep in mind that they can be a lot of work up front. And a lot of fun.

The only problem is that you can only apply if you already have an active NIH grant. The not-yet-funded new investigators get screwed again.
That's the NIH way!
Actually it's also true of NSF REU supplements. It would be nice if these agencies had a small grant program open to all PI's aimed at supporting undergrads over the summer.
