Fwd: Yale Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program | February 1 deadline

Dear Colleague, 

I am writing to ask for your assistance in spreading the word out about an excellent summer research opportunity for your undergraduates. The Yale CRISP REU program will once again be funding REU fellowships (residential and non-residential) at Yale University in New Haven, CT for the summer of 2014. 

 
The deadline for applications is February 1, 2014.  Please post and/or forward to the appropriate individual(s) in your Department and/or Institution.

The application information can be found at: http://www.crisp.yale.edu/index.php/Reu

Here are the links to our informational flyers if you wish to print and post it for your students:

Non-Residential REU program | 2014 Flyer

_________________________________________________________________

The CRISP Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) program.

The goal of the CRISP REU program is to offer high-quality, state-of-the-art research experiences, enrichment activities and professional development events to undergraduates. Current research topics range from thin film growth and characterization to friction and manipulation at the atomic level with projects involving computation, simulation, fabrication, characterization and image processing. Materials systems included semiconductors, dielectrics, optical materials and bio-materials.

Program Dates June 2 - July 28, 2014

Application Candidates must apply directly to the Yale SURF program through the Leadership Alliance Summer Research-Early Identification Program starting November 01, 2013. Students must also complete the supplementary application for CRISP to indicate interest. The entire application package, including two letters of recommendation and official transcript(s), must be received by February 01, 2014.

Fwd: Undergraduate Summer Research Program

Dear Professor Crider,   I am writing to request your help in identifying undergraduate students who are interested in a summer research experience. I hope you will encourage them to consider applying to the 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.   Please feel free to forward this to your students or to download our flyer to post. If you or your students have questions, please feel free to contact me directly.   Sincerely,  Maggie Jobes Summer Research Program Director Assistant Director of Graduate Recruitment  Office of Graduate Studies University of Nebraska–Lincoln  graduate@unl.edu
