National Sciences Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Academic Programs (Majors, Minors, etc): Honors College, Academic Programs (Majors, Minors, etc): Basic and Applied Science, Research

What is an REU? National Science Foundation (NSF) funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites (REU) program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers.   

What are the benefits? The opportunity to work in a small research team of 10-15 students. A stipend of $4000-$7500. Travel to the site is paid and housing and meals are often included (check each site for benefits).  

Who should apply? Students in the STEM fields including pre-med who wish to gain research experience. Seniors cannot apply if they are graduating before the summer of the research.  

How many locations? Over 600 including some overseas options.  

When should I apply? Deadlines vary from January to April. Start planning as soon as possible. Some applications will open in November.  

How many REUs should I apply to? Typically, 4-10 applications are recommended. This is a national competition.   Where can I find out more information? Go to: https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/ Also, watch our video at: http://www.mtsu.edu/honors/ufo/index.php It is under “Resources” and is called REU workshop.  

What are they looking for? Good grades and strong recommendations are helpful. Freshmen are not as competitive and previous research experiences can help, but REUs vary in what they want.   Students should select research options in which they can make a strong argument or give examples as to why they are interested in this program.
