2014 Nebraska Summer Research Program

Nebraska’s summer program offers research opportunities in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields in addition to a new interdisciplinary Minority Health Disparities program doing research in and around the social sciences. A complete listing of faculty mentors and research project descriptions can be found on our website at http://www.unl.edu/summerprogram. Students can also find information about program benefits including a competitive stipend, room and board, travel expenses, and more.

Summer 2014 programs include:
Algal Biofuels and Nanohybrid Materials
Applied Mathematics
Bioenergy Systems
Biomedical Engineering
Chemistry
Minority Health Disparities 
Redox Biology
Virology
Water in the Earth System

During the Nebraska Summer Research Program, students receive first-hand exposure to research and the experience of graduate school. They work closely with faculty mentors and research teams of graduate students and other summer scholars. Students also have opportunities to participate in meaningful social and professional development activities outside of the laboratory.

Our online application makes it easy for students to apply. Priority review begins Friday, February 1 and all applications must be completed by Monday, February 17. Students historically underrepresented in graduate education and students from academic institutions where research programs are limited are especially encouraged to apply.

WVU Nano REU Program

Our Nano Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at West Virginia University (WVU) has been refunded by the National Science Foundation.  Thus, we could use your help in identifying candidates for the 2013 program.  More information and an online application can be found at http://nanosafe.wvu.edu/education/undergraduate-programs/reu.  The Nano REU program offers a unique blend of multidisciplinary research, educational programs, and fun team-building activities.  Participants are involved in ongoing research in the field of nanotechnology with applications to environmental monitoring, early disease detection, biometrics, and energy efficiency.  The 2013 program runs from May 20-July 26 and participants receive $5,000 + room/board/some travel expenses.  We will begin evaluating completed applications on/after March 15, 2013 and admissions will be on a rolling basis.  Applicants should be rising sophomore, junior, or senior undergraduate students majoring in science, engineering, or mathematics.  Underrepresented minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and U.S. Armed Forces veterans from predominately undergraduate institutions within Appalachia are especially encouraged to apply. However, the site is not limited to these demographics.
