On Behalf of Science Education and Fellowship Programs - Walter Reed Army Institute of Research

Every summer, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research hosts our summer STEM program, Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science (GEMS). We have several *paid* internships available for undergraduates and upper-level high school students who have interest in STEM and STEM education careers. Please see the attached posting for more information on the *paid* internship.
 
Additionally, middle and high school-level teachers who are interested in observing our educational modules are welcome to apply to participate in a *paid* professional development opportunity in GEMS. Interested teachers should contact us directly for further information.

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellows Program offers a $32,000 stipend toward completion of a yearlong M.Ed. at Duquesne University, West Chester University, or the University of Pennsylvania. Fellows prepare through a full-year clinical experience in a local high-need school, coupled with rigorous coursework. Then they teach for three years in a high-need middle or high school, with mentoring throughout the entire process.

The 2020 Fall Undergraduate Research Symposium was a success. In a year in which we had to distance ourselves from each other to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, the symposium was a virtual experience and students uploaded their pre-recorded presentations to our website and engaged in “synchronous commenting” with participants, using the YouTube virtual platform. A total of 55 students, participating in research programs at WVU ( RAP, EXCEL, Beckman), presented their research and creative endeavors in 6 different categories. Congratulations to our winners and runner up!

The 2021 NSF-funded Astrophysics Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site is now accepting applications. The program will run for 10-weeks and from May 19-July 26, 2021. Undergraduates are paid to engage in research. Apply now!

The Cincinnati PREP program (PREP@UC) is a paid one-year post-bac in biomedical sciences. The program will be accepting applications starting on December 15, 2020. This opportunity is for graduating seniors who are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree but who are not quite ready to take this path, maybe because they lack research experience, other skills or even just the confidence that they can succeed.

On behalf of the American Chemical Society Global Outreach Team, it is my pleasure to announce the opening of the application window for the 2021 International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program.

 The ACS IRES program is seeking applications from qualified U.S. undergraduate students to explore chemistry and chemical engineering lab research in an international setting. ACS has partnered with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to place U.S. students at German research labs from May-August 2021 (final research dates are determined between selected students at the host lab). This is a unique research opportunity for U.S. undergraduate sciences students to experience international research cooperation at its heart and developing their cross-cultural communication skills-a critical professional skill for researchers.
