Research Experience for Faculty and Students at Undergraduate Institutions


Our enhanced Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program recruits two faculty/student pairs from regional four-year colleges and universities to engage in summer research with MRSEC faculty, with the goal of providing a research experience which benefit both the participants and the MRSEC projects. It is expected that the professor/student pairs continue to expand on MRSEC-related research at their home institutions during the academic year. A summer stipend for the professorial member will be provided for up to two full months of full-time commitment to the MRSEC project. The student will receive a weekly salary plus free room/ board for up to 10 weeks of commitment to the project.

Professor/Student Pairs:
2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003

Undergraduates in Research:
