Want to learn more about off-campus research opportunities in STEM? The National Science Foundation supports programs called Research Experiences for Undergraduates or REUs.
On Friday, November 12, from 4:00 – 5:30 PM, Dixie Shafer of URGO will lead a workshop on how to search for and apply to paid off-campus Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs in STEM fields.
This will be a virtual event designed to help students learn more about how to search for and apply to summer research opportunities nationally as well as locally.
Date: Friday, November 12
Time: 4:00 -5:30 PM
Format: Virtual over Zoom
All are welcome! Anyone interested in attending should complete the registration link below.
REU’s are offered in a wide range of STEM and interdisciplinary subject areas. Here is an example of one REU:
Biomedical Engineering Summer Research Program
The Biomedical Engineering Department and Center for Biomedical Informatics at Wake Forest School of Medicine will offer several summer research opportunities in 2022 focusing on Imaging and Mechanics-based Projects on Accidental Cases of Trauma (IMPACT) and other biomedical engineering and informatics topics. Students selected for this Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program will receive a stipend and on-campus housing. Exciting biomedical engineering projects are offered on topics including:
Injury prediction model development
Military, sports and spaceflight safety
Osteoporosis prevention
Biomechanical characterization of injury mechanisms
Diagnostics and therapies for cancer patients
Biomedical informatics
