Undergraduate Research Opportunities
2018 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) sites in Kentucky
The REU program is funded by the National Science Foundation and provides opportunities for undergraduates interested in all disciplines of science research. Applications for these summer programs are typically due early in the calendar year. Here are some REU hosts in Kentucky- a link to other REU opportunities across the country is at the bottom of this page.
Disturbance Ecology in Central Appalachia, May 21st to July 27th
There are 10 available research internships at Eastern Kentucky University over the next two summers. The application deadline for this summer is February 16th. These internships are funded by a National Science Foundation award, Disturbance Ecology in Central Appalachia. We are recruiting undergraduate students from across the nation, and we’re particularly interested in applicants from groups underrepresented in the sciences. Our research mentors represent multiple scientific fields and approaches (see attached), so students will be able to choose from a diversity of projects. These are paid internships that include a stipend ($525/wk), housing, food allowance, transportation, and funds for research supplies.Contact Drs.
