Outside CC: REU and SROP

The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program. A REU site consists of a group of approximately ten undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she/they work closely with faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. These opportunities are available only to students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

The Big Ten Academic Alliance operates the Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP). This program is a gateway to graduate education at Big Ten Academic Alliance institutions. The goal of the program is to increase the number of underrepresented students who pursue graduate study and research careers. SROP helps prepare undergraduates for graduate study through intensive research experiences with faculty mentors and enrichment activities.
