Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program for Undergraduates- The Institute for Biology Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites junior and senior undergraduate students interested in research careers in the biological sciences to participate in the Integrated Biological Sciences Summer Research Program (IBS-SRP). This hands-on research program is designed primarily to give students from other colleges and universities a chance to experience the richness of research at UW–Madison. As part of the program, students do full-time research for 10 weeks with a faculty member in one of eight disciplinary areas:Biochemistry/Biophysics, Bioenergy,Cellular and Molecular Biology,Computational Biology & Biostatistics,Ecology, Plants, and Environmental Systems,Molecular & Environmental Toxicology, Neurobiology, and Virology.  The eight disciplinary areas are connected through a seminar series highlighting major themes in biology, science writing, preparation for graduate school, and biological sciences careers.  At the end of the program, students give an oral presentation of their research results and write a final research report that is published in a program journal.  Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents between their sophomore and senior years who have a grade point average of at least 3.0 and strong interest in a career in biological research. Students who are African American, Hispanic, Native American, Southeast Asian, Native Alaskan or Native Pacific Islander OR who are from low-income homes OR who are the first in their family to attend college OR who attend small liberal arts institutions without broad research facilities are strongly encouraged to apply.  The application will be available on this web site by November 15, 2012. All application materials are due on February 15, 2013! Please visit the IBS-SRP Application section for more information.

DePauw University is hosting a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Computer Science program May 30, 2012 – August 3, 2012. This programs allows students to experience, first-hand, several of the most rewarding activities that characterize most graduate programs and research careers. One of the goals of the Research Experience for Undergraduate program is to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups, therefore, the program is especially interested in receiving applications from qualified applicants who are members of these groups as well as from members of other groups, such as first generation college students, who are also underrepresented in the sciences. These pages contain information from the summer 2012 prgram.   For detailed information please visit http://my.depauw.edu/univ/reu/.

The Oak Ridge Summer Semester is an exceptional opportunity for undergraduates to conduct research and work alongside career scientists at a premier facility, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
