Plus, you get paid for learning! If you don't have anything else planned for the summer, you could do a lot worse. :-) Bettina ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sharon Tuttle Date: Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 5:53 PM Humboldt State University, on the north coast of California, is accepting applications for a National Science Foundation: Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF:REU) summer research program. Humboldt will host ten undergraduate research interns for the summer of 2008, with travel and support provided, to work on research related to Design in Computer Science and related fields. The application deadline has been extended to March 17, 2008; please encourage your students to consider this opportunity. The application form and program information is available at: http://www.humboldt.edu/~reu-rms/ Thank you for helping to spread the word! -- Sharon M.

The goal of these initiatives is to increase the numbers of women and minorities who continue on to graduate school in computer science and engineering. The Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) program is designed to provide positive research experiences for teams of undergraduates who will work during the academic year at their home institutions. CREU is designed to encourage young computer scientists and engineers from all under represented groups to consider graduate school. The Multidisciplinary Research Opportunities for Women (MRO-W) program is designed to provide positive multidisciplinary research experiences for teams of undergraduates from at least two academic disciplines at their home institutions. MRO-W students work collaboratively on a multidisciplinary project during the academic year and during the following summer. Students will work with one or two sponsoring faculty members on a project for which monetary support is typically not available. Students will each receive a stipend of $3,000 for their work during the academic year and $4000 for their MRO-W summer work. CREU may also receive $500 and MRO-W may receive $1500 to be used for associated special equipment, travel, or supporting materials. Teams consisting of all women or all under represented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. In order to support the exchange of shared common experiences, individual teams should be homogeneous with respect to minority status or gender. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See the websites for specific information about Basic Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria. You may also see the reports from previous years for examples of funded CREU and MRO-W projects.
