H. Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs)

These awards provide opportunities for talented undergraduate students to participate in active research in mathematics, science and engineering. Awards typically will be of two types:

Sites--Grants to initiate and support undergraduate research participation sites. These projects could be carried out during the summer months, the academic year or both. The Foundation expects that an appropriate number of students will be involved, and proposals involving fewer than 4 to 6 students are discouraged.

Supplements--to ongoing NSF research awards provide research training experiences for one or two additional undergraduates. Funds will normally be available for up to two students, but exceptions will be considered for training additional minority and women students, and students with physical disabilities.
