National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (REU)<\/h3>\n\n\n

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate student participants in either REU Sites or REU Supplements must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students do not apply to NSF to participate in REU activities. Students apply directly to REU Sites or to NSF-funded investigators who receive REU Supplements. To identify appropriate REU Sites, students should consult the directory of active REU sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

DHS HS-STEM Summer Internship Program<\/h3>\n\n\n

The current competition cycle for this program is now closed. The information and application materials posted on this Web site are for reference only and may change with the next competition cycle, which will begin in Fall 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sponsors a 10-week summer internship program for students majoring in homeland security-related science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (HS-STEM) disciplines. This program is open to undergraduate students in a broad spectrum of DHS mission-relevant research areas and graduate students interested in the specific field of Nuclear and Radiological Threat Detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DHS HS-STEM Summer Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to conduct research at federal research facilities located across the country. The goal of this program is to engage a diverse, educated, and skilled pool of scientists and engineers in HS-STEM issues and to promote long-term relationships between student researchers, DHS, and federal research facilities to enhance the HS-STEM workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHS has partnered with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE)<\/a> to manage the application and review process, notification, and implementation of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHS reserves the right to make no awards or to cancel this program. DHS assumes no liability for canceling the HS-STEM Summer Internship Program or for anyone\u2019s failure to receive actual notification of cancellation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"DOELogo\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) established the DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE SCGF) program in 2009 to support outstanding students to pursue graduate training in fundamental research in areas of physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, computer and computational sciences, and environmental sciences relevant to the Office of Science and to encourage the development of the next generation scientific and technical talent in the U.S who will pursue careers in research critical to the Office of Science mission at DOE laboratories and in academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DOE SCGF is a three-year award, providing partial tuition support, an annual stipend for living expenses, and a research allowance for full-time graduate study and thesis\/dissertation research at a U.S. academic institution. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and either a first- or second-year graduate student, or an undergraduate senior at the time of applying, and must be pursuing or plan to pursue graduate study and research in areas relevant to the science programs supported by the DOE Office of Science. Applications are subject to rigorous peer review by external experts based on established merit review criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
