NSF: Research Experiences for Undergraduates

By BHSU Communications | July 18, 2007

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation.

REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.

This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department, or on interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in DoD-relevant research areas.

(2) REU Supplements may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects or may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements.

Deadlines:

Full Proposal: September 13, 2007 Full Proposal: June 6, 2008

Deadline date for REU Site proposals to the Antarctic Program

Deadline for REU Site proposals: September 13, 2007; August 18, 2008. Deadline for REU Site proposals to the Antarctic Program: June 6, 2008; June 5, 2009. Note that the June 6, 2007, deadline is covered by the previous REU program solicitation, NSF 05-592. Deadline for REU Supplement requests: Varies with the research program. Contact the cognizant program officer for the award or proposal that would be supplemented. For more information visit:
