Introduction
The National Science Foundation makes possible a number of opportunities
for undergraduates to join research projects each summer. This allows
students to experience first-hand how basic research is carried out, and to
contribute consequentially. The principal support by NSF of such activities
is through the Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program. REU "Sites"
are established in all fields of science, mathematics, and engineering. Each
Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates, who work in the
research programs of the host institution. Students are in general accepted
from throughout the country. Each student is assigned to a specific research
project, where he/she works closely with the faculty, post-docs, and
graduate students. In addition, seminars, lunch meetings, and social
functions are organized to facilitate interaction between the
undergraduates. Students are granted stipends, and in some cases assistance
with housing and travel. Students who are in those groups traditionally
under-represented in science (women, members of under-represented
minorities, and those with disabilities) are particularly urged to apply.
Students with special personal needs or requirements, or who can attend a
Site only under special conditions, are also encouraged to apply, and to
discuss this with Site Directors in advance of the application dates.
