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.

The student-led undergraduate research journal, Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review, 

The Appalachian Gerontology Experiences: Advancing Diversity in Aging Research  Scholars Program invites faculty, staff and students to attend a virtual Open House on Nov 16 from 4-5 p.m. to learn more about this newly-funded program which prepares underrepresented students in MSTEM fields for a future career in health or research. 

Opportunities are opened to rising sophomores and juniors to participate in the 2021 paid six-week summer research internship. Faculty members who are interested in becoming research mentors for these future AGE-ADAR Scholars are strongly encouraged to attend. All attendees will have a chance to win several $25 gift cards.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers 11 summer research programs in varying disciplines. Links to all of the programs can be found at this site:https://grad.wisc.edu/diversity/srop/.
