The Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology is pleased to announce that the REAP application portal is now open. Applications will be accepted through February 9, 2026.

As scientific technologies continue to advance rapidly, the Research Expertise Advancement Program (REAP) supports Cornell life sciences laboratories in staying current with emerging tools and methods in cell and molecular biology. REAP provides full or partial funding (up to $3,000) for faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers to attend technology-focused workshops or courses, with the expectation that participants will share the acquired expertise with the broader Cornell community.
