Program introduces the eight student participants to the marine science discipline through courses in ocean sciences, independent research, outreach training, math and writing workshops, and training in laboratory and field investigative techniques. Students are introduced to the variety of professional opportunities available to them as professional marine scientists.
Student participants receive a work study allowance of $3025, a travel allowance and are provided housing at SPMC. Tuition and fees for 31 quarter credit hours that may be transferred to the home institution are covered. There are no set hours, the level of participation depending upon the requirements of the coursework and research project.
During this 10 week summer research program students will participate in transformative chemical research in a collaborative environment at one of 13 prominent research institutions. Students will meet with scientists from academia, National Labs and industry via regular teleconferencing. All students will be invited (all expenses paid) to a meeting in Seattle in September with all members of the center.

Research opportunities for undergraduates in disciplines related to Materials. Potential projects span a broad range of topics under the guidance of faculty from the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering, and Civil/Environmental Engineering. Students spend 10 weeks working in labs and present their research at the end of the summer. Low-cost housing is available on campus. Lunch is provided on days events are held such as short courses, lectures, tours, etc. (about 10 per summer).
The Department of Physics & Astronomy at Stony Brook University is hosting an eight-week program for qualified undergraduate physics and/or astronomy majors. The program gives students an intensive research experience with leading researchers in the field. REU participants will be assigned to a faculty mentor and become fully integrated into active research groups using state-of-the-art facilities. Participants will have the opportunity to work closely with their faculty mentor, attend weekly seminars, participate in workshops and present their research results at a student symposium at the close of the program. Participants will be placed in one of the following areas: Accelerator science, Astronomy (observational & theoretical), Atomic, molecular & optical physics, Computational physics & astrophysics, Condensed matter physics, Laser Teaching Center, Relativistic heavy ion physics. Applications are due by March 1.
The SSI is an 8-week internship. Interns perform original research with an advisor of their choice. They also take part in a curriculum of tours, lectures, and lab exercises on phylogenetic systematics, molecular techniques, biodiversity, evolutionary biology, global change, and other contemporary issues in the natural sciences.
Our program includes individual research projects, overview talks in different areas of physics, weekly lunch meetings where students
informally discuss their work, and final research presentations open to the entire department. Other popular components include information on graduate programs and several field trips.
The University of Oregon and the National Science Foundation sponsor a 10 week summer undergraduate research program offering a wide variety of exciting research projects for students interested in chemistry, physics, environmental chemistry, optics and materials science. Students work closely with faculty advisors, graduate students and other research undergraduates for a unique summer experience.
Our 10 week summer program will emphasize hands-on experience with many of the techniques used to determine and analyze structures of molecules and solid-state materials. Research activities include collaborations with National Laboratories and will culminate in a trip to the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL.
During the summer, SIBS participants will (1) participate in a seminar series designed to give insight into both the basic science and the clinical science aspects of common diseases; (2) meet with current graduate, medical, and MSTP students to discuss medical and graduate training; (3) participate in physician shadowing (if interested); (4) participate in the UAB Summer Undergraduate Poster competition; and (5) write a 5-10 page final report in the format of a scientific publication. By the end of the program SIBS participants will be well equipped to know what a career in biomedical sciences might entail.
This program was initiated in 1973 with funds from a bequest to the University in his memory by Maximillian Nandor Lando, a 1902 chemistry graduate of the University of Minnesota. The Chemistry Summer Research Program is designed to encourage students in the chemical sciences to learn more about research in chemistry and provide them with the opportunity to work in a lab under the direction of a faculty member.
EACH SUMMER, the Maryland Sea Grant Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program offers fourteen students the opportunity to conduct marine research on the Chesapeake Bay — the program is especially designed for students majoring in such fields as biology, chemistry, ecology, environmental science, engineering, physics, marine science and mathematics. During this 12-week REU program each student works with a mentor on an individual research project at one of two labs located on the Chesapeake Bay: the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's (UMCES) Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, Maryland, or its Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, Maryland.

Students will gain first hand experience in designing a research project, writing a research proposal, carrying out extended field research, analyzing data, and presenting results in oral, written, and graphical form. Students choose a mentor after arrival and work with that mentor to design a research project of mutual interest. Projects vary in scope from species to communities to ecosystems, but focus on some aspect of ecology, biology, or environmental sciences.
Genomics and Computational Biology will bring participants recruited nationally from underrepresented groups to the University of Georgia campus for 10 weeks in the Summer of 2012.

Research in Prokaryotic Biology at the University of Georgia will run from May 28 to July 27, 2012. This exciting program in the Microbiology Department is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and will provide ten participants with nine weeks of a hands-on research experience. A $4,500 stipend is included as well as housing, travel expenses to and from UGA, and a $500 food allowance. Application deadline is Feb. 22, with participant selection beginning at the end of February. You do not have to be a microbiology major to apply.
