What's New

Students are invited to apply for the NSF-DoD REU Site: Advanced Technologies for Hypersonic, Propulsive, Energetic, and Reusable Platforms (HYPER) at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

This REU site addresses challenges in aerospace travel and energy production, advancing the fundamental knowledge needed to overcome technical barriers limiting hypersonic flight.

Arctic REU Greenland is an NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site led by Concord University (West Virginia) and Montana State University. The REU is focused on field research in Precambrian metamorphic rocks integrating geologic mapping, structural geology, and earthquake geodynamics. 

Travel expenses to the program and full logistical support for fieldwork in Greenland will be provided. Students will receive stipends of up to $5000 to support their work. Funding for travel to a geologic conference in the fall or spring to present research results is also included.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking enthusiastic undergraduate students to apply to the agency’s premier Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program. The SURF Program will be administered virtually with program dates of May 24, 2021 to August 6, 2021. Note: Participants will not travel to the NIST laboratories to conduct research in the 2021 SURF Program. Therefore, the fellowship does not include support for travel or lodging.

Since 1993, SURF students from across the country have had the opportunity to gain valuable, hands-on experience, working with cutting edge technology in one of the world's leading research organizations and home to three Nobel Prize winners. The mission of the SURF Program is to inspire undergraduate students to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through a unique research experience that supports the NIST mission.

Applications for the American Chemical Society (ACS) SURF program (Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship) are now open.  Applications are now being accepted with a Feb. 12, 2021 deadline.  These are $5000 fellowships where research will be conducted in labs at your own institution. There may be no more than 2 nominees per department, and no more than 1 nominee per research group.  Nominations from women and minorities who are typically under-represented in chemistry are especially encouraged.  In addition, we encourage a range of diverse schools.  More info? https://organicdivision.org/surf

The summer 2021 NSF REU program in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at Vanderbilt University is now accepting applications (deadline is February 15th).  The Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE) focuses on interdisciplinary nanoscale research at the interface of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. More than 40 faculty participants from the School of Engineering, College of Arts and Science, and the School of Medicine inspire students by creating an atmosphere of excitement and creativity. Each REU participant will work directly with VINSE faculty members and their research groups and be part of the larger VINSE community.
