The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution.
Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel.
The Office of Undergraduate Research hosts the REU Liaison 番茄社区 in which we pair students with a faculty mentor to offer assistance throughout the competitive application process.
