The ten-week REU in Polymer Science and Engineering will be held May 20th – July 26th, 2019. Participants will be engaged in fundamental research projects that span the complex, interdisciplinary facets of materials sustainability, including polymer synthesis from renewable sources, materials with enhanced properties and lifetime, materials to improve utilization of natural resources, reduced energy polymer processes, and biodegradable materials, while gaining the tools to assess the environmental impact of new material development. In addition to their research project, REU participants will participate in short courses in polymer fundamentals, ethics, communication and presentation skills, and graduate school preparation. Field trips to local polymer industries and social activities are planned. REU students present two research updates as well as a final poster presentation. Each REU participant will receive a $5000 stipend, housing, meal allowance, and travel costs are also provided.
Students majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, plastics & composites engineering, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Women, underrepresented minorities, and students from primarily undergraduate institutions are especially encouraged to apply. Participants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. Application Deadline March 1, 2019.
The ten-week REU in Polymers will be held May 29th – August 2nd, 2019.
Approximately 12 research opportunities will be available for the Summer of
2018. In addition to cutting-edge research, REU participants will
participate in weekly sessions emphasizing the fundamentals of polymer science
and engineering, ethics, communication skills, and graduate school
preparation. Local industry tours and social activities are also planned.
REU students are required to present a poster and submit a final report at the
end of the summer. Each REU participant will receive a $4500 stipend payable in
two installments. Housing, meal allowance, and travel costs are also provided.
Students (non-CWRU) majoring in polymer science and engineering, chemical
engineering, chemistry, materials science and engineering or a related field
are encouraged to apply. Women, underrepresented minorities, and students
from primarily undergraduate institutions are especially encouraged to apply.

We invite undergraduates to apply to the
Proactive Health Informatics Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site
for Summer 2019 (application: http://bit.ly/ProHealthREU2019).
What is the Proactive Health Informatics REU
Site?
The Proactive Health Informatics REU aims to
build usable and intelligent pervasive systems that empower people to manage
their health and see how their everyday decisions impact their progress to
achieve future health goals. Our REU site will provide students with a
unique opportunity to learn techniques in the areas of human computer
interaction, pervasive computing (mobile or wearable), environmental sensing
(ambient and on-body), machine learning (vision recognition and signal
processing), and the implications of technologies on society. Students will
learn appropriate methods, software tools, and analysis techniques related to
their project, thus experience in these areas is not necessarily required. In
addition, all students will learn scholarly professional development skills,
such as synthesizing related work, identifying research aims, designing ethical
studies, collecting data, analyzing results, and presenting results in papers
and presentations.

Logistics
Our 2019 REU dates are Sunday, May 19 through
Friday, July 12, 2019.
For the 8-weeks of participation, each student will receive travel to and from
Bloomington, a $4000 stipend, free room and board, and GRE preparation (if
wanted).
How to Apply?
We encourage undergraduate students interested
in computing/informatics oriented areas – independent of experience or years in
their respective programs – to apply to our REU program.
One of the goals of the REU program is to
broaden participation of students from traditionally underrepresented groups in
computing and/or who do not have access to research facilities at their home
institution. We strongly invite applications from women, students of color,
first-generation college students, gender and sexual minorities, veterans, and
students with disabilities. Previous research experience is not a requirement.
Please complete an application as soon as
possible (we will review, interview, and select participants on a rolling basis
starting immediately). We typically have our REUs selected by early March, so
the sooner one applies, the better their changes of consideration.

The State University of New York Upstate Medical University in
collaboration with SUNY ESF is offering fellowships for its 2019 Summer
Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program. The aim of the SURF
program is to nurture undergraduate students into careers that combine
biomedical research into their chosen profession, providing them an
understanding of research across disciplines and fields. In an intensive
ten-week summer program, undergraduates with appropriate faculty
guidance will formulate their own proposal, carry out research under the
supervision of one of our faculty, write a research paper and have the
potential to see their work published. In the process, students will
attend research seminars, present and participate in a student journal
club, present their work, and participate in discussions on careers in
research and how to apply to graduate, medical, nursing or other health
professions schools. Students are given ample opportunities to interact
directly with many of our faculty and students. This is a newly enlarged
program that will offer students the opportunity to perform research
from a wide variety of perspectives (basic science, medicine, nursing,
environmental health, and physical therapy).
The program runs from Monday, June 3, 2019, through Friday, August 9, 2019.
Each fellow will be provided a $3,500 stipend for the period plus housing.
Applicants to the program should be undergraduate students in good
academic standing, who will be between their junior and senior years
during the summer of 2019. Applicants must have a strong interest in
pursuing post undergraduate studies in fields offered at SUNY Upstate or SUNY ESF.
The main criteria for the selection of fellows will be personal
scholarship, academic excellence, and the match of applicant interests
with those of participating Upstate and ESF faculty members.
International students who currently have a J-1 or F-1 visa, and who are
already attending school in the United States, are eligible to apply.
Depending on a student’s research interests they are paired with faculty in one of the 5 colleges (Graduate Studies, Nursing,
Medicine, Health Professions or SUNY ESF) to learn more about those
professions and to perform cutting-edge research. All students will
interact throughout the 10 weeks allowing them to see research from many
different facets by participating in inter-professional education
events.
Students should be specifically interested in pursuing a PhD, MS, MD, MD/PhD, DNP, DPT, MPH, or PA. In addition, students from SUNY institutions or underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Apply online here: http://www.upstate.edu/grad/programs/summer.php
