Engineered Bioactive Interfaces and Devices focuses on the novel design of architectures that interact with biological systems and promote the desired response. These advanced architectures have numerous applications ranging from tissue engineering, to sensing systems, to drug delivery. REU students will have the opportunity to learn about three cross-disciplinary research themes that form the foundation of the research in this area. They include 1) Novel Bioactive Architectures , 2) Cell/Protein ...

The impacts of changing environmental conditions are becoming increasingly apparent with sea-level rise and increases in the number of extreme weather-related events such as floods, wildfires, droughts and storms. An interdisciplinary approach to solving the complex interconnections of the atmosphere, oceans, and land is needed. Urban systems also play an important role, as approximately 80% of the U.S. population lives in cities, and cities are especially prone to negative effects such as ...

The intellectual theme of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab REU program is understanding how marine and estuarine ecosystems and living resources respond to disturbance. Under this theme, we provide semi-independent research experiences across disciplines in coastal ecology (plant, invertebrate, fish, mammal), toxicology, microbiology and biological, chemical, physical and geological oceanography. The integration of field and lab-based studies across disciplines, proximity to a range of ecosystems, ...

Since 1990, The Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC) has administered an annual NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in marine science. Each summer, eight selected students spent nine weeks at SPMC conducting original research with a faculty adviser, participating in professional development activities, and engaging in outreach events. At the end of the session, students produce a written and an oral report based on the results of their research. Student research projects ...

The REU on Sustainable Land and Water Resources introduces undergraduate students to the key elements of research on land and water resources that are essential to improving management practices, with a focus on community-based participatory research and diverse interdisciplinary research teams. Students work on one of three teams on projects that explore the integrated community of the Earth s land and water, including its living beings and relatives - plants, animals, and people. This opportunity ...

The Program in Climate and Space Science Observation (PICASSO) at the University of Michigan seeks to engage a highly-motivated and collaborative cohort of undergraduate students to participate in its summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site program titled: Program in Climate and Space Science Observation (PICASSO). This REU program is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation. The program is open to undergraduate students from any academic discipline who are interested ...

The Research Theme of the REU Site is the ecology of coastal ecosystems across gradients of human impact. Specifically, our research looks at coastal ecosystems ecology, environmental aquatic chemistry, and the connections among the Everglades wetlands, coastal mangrove forests, seagrass beds and shallow water coral reefs. Our goal is to detect the sources, transport and transformation of environmental stressors and the ecosystem responses under rapid changing climate and land-use. The hydrologic ...

The CiDER REU program is for any undergraduate interested in exploring the learning and teaching of STEM at the undergraduate level. Join us for an immersive, 10-week summer research experience. Potential projects are diverse and interdisciplinary. Application deadline: Feb. 2, 2026 Program dates: May 24--August 1, 2026 https://www.ndsu.edu/dber/reu-program

Are you interested in making discoveries about how students learn Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics (STEM) by joining an interdisciplinary community of STEM education researchers? RAIDERS REU participants will learn important research skills and conduct studies about STEM education. The summer 2026 session will offer 10 project choices (see project descriptions at https://urc.mtsu.edu/raider-reu/). After completing the 8-week REU in July, undergraduate researchers will return ...

With the guidance of a faculty mentor, interns will conduct original research projects in one of a wide range of marine science topics. In addition to laboratory and field research activities, students will participate in field trips to the Maryland Coastal Bays, Virginia Institute of Marine Science Eastern Shore Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Laboratory, and Pocomoke State Park. Students will receive instruction in topics such as scientific ethics, ...
