Note: this opportunity encourages applications from community college students.

Description:
The REU program is a 10-week program that involves a hands-on research experience for undergraduate students, whereby participants work in the labs of some of the University of Alabama, Birmingham's renown scientists.

The program will pay $6,000 over the entire work period and will involve 400 hours of remote/on ground research with a UAB faculty mentor. The research represents actual projects that will contribute, in some way, to the work already being conducted in the labs.

Eligibility:

The program is open only to United States Citizens and permanent residents of the United States that are:

-(1)Currently enrolled in a U.S. institute of higher education and who will not be graduating prior to the Spring semester of the program year (applicants must be returning to an undergraduate program after participating in the program).
