2009 applications now online!


The application form for those interested in joining the REU program for 2009-2001 is now online!

During the application process, you will be asked to provide:


  • A personal statement describing your reasons for wanting to join the program and career goals

  • Names of two referees who will be providing recommendation letters


Please contact program mentors to discuss research opportunities.

You do not need to have any previous research experience, or be a biology major. No single criterion is used as a "cut-off" for applications. Factors such as having good working relationships with other students and mentors, willingness to learn, and persistance are important, as well as GPA. Students now finishing their first or second year of study are particularly encouraged to apply.
