The National Science Foundation (NSF) announces the Research Experiences
for Undergraduates (REU) Sites and Supplements program solicitation (NSF
07-569).
Program Title:
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Sites and Supplements
Synopsis of Program:
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports
active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the
areas of research funded by NSF. 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 (DoD) 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.
Undergraduate student participants in either Sites or Supplements must
be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its
possessions. Students may not apply to NSF to participate in REU
activities. Students apply directly to REU Sites and should consult the
directory of active REU Sites at:
