NIIMBL bioLOGIC is a project-based learning program for high school students developed by NIIMBL that focuses on engagement with advanced technologies, familiarization with the principles of entrepreneurship, and exposure to education and career pathways that lead to the advanced manufacturing sector.
These focus areas are wrapped around a student-led, design-thinking approach that allows participants to concentrate on a problem area that holds real meaning for them and apply what they learned about technology and entrepreneurship to a real-world challenge.
Through this RFI, NIIMBL aims to better understand how an organization would approach implementing the program in its region. The goal is to gauge interest and gather insights that will shape the scope of a future Request for Applications (RFA) for NIIMBL bioLOGIC.
The submission deadline is September 11, 2025, at 5 pm ET.
NIIMBL Workforce Director John Balchunas and Workforce & Talent Engagement Managers Kathie Young and Megan Argoe take you through the key requirements of the NIIMBL bioLOGIC Request for Information.
We have provided NIIMBL bioLOGIC documents to support your review and evaluation of the program for an RFI response. These documents reference multiple additional forms that have not been provided.
