On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 from 5:30-6:30 pm ET, the Office of Undergraduate Research will hold a Zoom information session for undergraduate students regarding summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Run by universities, colleges, and research organizations throughout the United States, NSF REU programs provide paid summer research opportunities to undergraduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematical fields (including social, behavioral, and economic science fields). The NSF limits eligibility for these programs to undergraduates who are US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents.

The information session will provide an overview of these programs and information on how to locate and apply to programs running in summer 2025. It will also feature a panel of UMD students who have participated in NSF REUs in the past:

• Yoshi Chettri ‘25 (Majoring in Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics and Chemistry; participated in Johns Hopkins University’s BioREU in Summer 2022)

• Atrey Desai ‘26 (Majoring in Computer Science and Linguistics; participated in the University of Texas-Arlington’s Animal Language Processing and Understanding REU in Summer 2024)
