Finding REU Opportunities
There are thousands of REUs available across a breadth of disciplinary fields. Searching online using keywords such as: research experiences for undergraduates; your field of interest (i.e. biology, chemistry, medicine); and your location of interest (i.e. Iowa, New York, London, etc.) will help you find opportunities. A faculty member in your field of interest or your advisor can also help you narrow down where to start.
Two of the largest REU programs are supported by federal research organizations: NSF and NIH.
The U.S. National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) program supports intensive research by undergraduate students in any area of research funded by NSF. Includes REUs available in the US and abroad.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports summer research programs for health related fields.
