The University of Michigan Future Public Health Leaders Program (Michigan FPHLP) is a residential summer program funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Through field placements, skill building workshops and mentorship, Michigan FPHLP provides students with opportunities for growth, learning and awareness in the field of public health. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase the diversity of the public health workforce and the people committed to reducing health disparities.
Michigan FPHLP students will be housed on the University of Michigan’s campus for 10 weeks to dive deep into the field of public health. Students will participate in curriculum days at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and engage with public health professionals through their field placements.
The 2020 FPHLP Application is now open until January 31, 2020 at 11:59pm EST. Visit our Application page to access the 2020 Application.
The
Child Health and Behavior Lab (HABLAB) at the University of Buffalo is looking
for undergraduate students to assist with research studies during Fall 2019
& Spring 2020. These research experiences would be under the leadership of
Dr. Stephanie Anzman-Frasca, who conducts laboratory- and community-based
studies in the area of children’s eating behavior and obesity prevention. More
information about Dr. Anzman-Frasca’s work is available here: https://medicine.buffalo.edu/faculty/profile.html?ubit=safrasca
Responsibilities
of student research assistants include: assisting with material
preparation, entering data, and helping staff in the implementation of the
study design. It is anticipated that students will have the opportunity to work
directly with study participants, including parents and children, in laboratory
and/or community studies. All incoming research assistants must be able to
commit to at least 10 hours of research per week, with preference given to
students who can commit to at least two semesters. Students may be asked to
commit to evenings or weekends to work with participants.
Interested
students can apply by submitting an application and a resume
to ubhablab@gmail.com, using
“Student research assistant application 2019” as the subject of the email.
Applications may be downloaded at http://ubhablab.weebly.com/students. We are reviewing applications on a rolling
basis, with our next round of interviews planned for late Spring 2019.
An Opportunity to work with world-renowned scientists at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, UK for an intensive 10-week summer experience in their laboratories.

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.

Call for Applications
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.

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.
