In this program participants pursue research projects in the fields of biochemistry, synthetic chemistry, or materials chemistry. Recruitment efforts for participants are focused on students from underrepresented identities in STEM fields, specifically from community colleges and four-year institutions with limited research opportunities. This program therefore facilitates the transition to a four-year university for many of the students. Participants also take part in weekly professional development training seminars, engage in several excursions around Western Washington (including whale watching and a trip to Seattle for a Sounders game), and present a poster at an REU symposium at the end of the program.

These projects should not only be challenging but engaging to our REU participants so that they are motivated to learn more about the research area as well to seriously consider graduate studies. Our teaming arrangement with faculty and graduate students, giving poster and oral presentations, writing a research-style paper, and attending training seminars in scientific communications and ethics have helped past REU students see the “big picture” of what it takes to develop into a “research scientist” with the critical skills needed for analyzing, interpreting and presenting scientific data. Lastly, most of the research projects have been a strong interdisciplinary flavor, lying at the interfaces of physics, chemistry, materials science, and biomedical engineeringUniversity of Alabama at BirminghamYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesFreshman may applyFemales and underrepresented minorities are encouraged to applyYes$6,000Travel to conferences and industry labs, housing under certain conditions

Importantly, we now seek to integrate multiple components of ongoing research to emphasize commonalities in the challenges that faced communities in the Turkana Basin through time, while recognizing the unique contextual situation of each individual community. An increased awareness exists that rapid ecosystem changes will have dramatic impacts on lifestyles, nutrition, and health of rural populations in the contemporary world (Inhorn & Brown, 1990; Morton 2007). Studies of hydropower development showed significant impacts on local ecology, disease vectors and parasites (Sattenspiel, 2000), and associated communities (Sheppe and Alan 1985). Dramatic lake level changes in the Turkana Basin over millennia affected the lifestyles and adaptive behaviors of the communities that lived in this lake basin (Odada et al. 2003). This project provides the unique opportunity to examine the impact of ecological changes on human health, biology, and behavior from the deep past to the present.
Our REU site will address these issues by integrating research and training in a variety of related fields. We pose three overarching questions that enlist diverse scientific disciplines: i) Have ecosystem changes in the Turkana Basin resulted in complex adaptive challenges across the millennia of human experience, and has this been recorded in the material record of these communities? ii) Have humans played an increasingly important role in shaping ecosystem dynamics in the Turkana Basin? In particular, the changes associated with biological and behavioral adaptations over the last 3.4 million years may have resulted in significant reorganizations of local eco-social dynamics iii) How do land use and movement strategies of modern and ancient populations integrate environmental context and impact availability and quality of food and water resources?

Cloud computing is a relatively new computing paradigm, having been developed and popularized only in the last decade. With the widespread applications deployed in the internet, both the volume and types of cyber-attacks continue to increase and target every internet user. Developing a secure cloud environment requires computer science and cybersecurity professionals with interdisciplinary knowledge and skills of network security, system security, cryptography, risk analysis, ethics and human behaviors, and many other security practices. To provide students a better experience, in addition to research training, Boise State summer research community offers students a variety of activities to enhance their research skills, including: (1) seminars for discussing an array of topics, including ethical conduct of research, critical thinking, and tips to presenting research to a public audience; and (2) a two-day Idaho Conference of Undergraduate Research that brings together undergraduate students of diverse disciplines to showcase their original work in poster presentations. After the summer program, faculty mentors will continue to work with students to publish their research results and advise them with graduate program applications or career planning as needed.

Students will select a research mentor from a diverse team of scientists who are using cutting edge tools and techniques to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms of how cells, organisms, and communities adapt to stochastic environmental conditions by coordinating growth with morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits to maximize fitness. Research projects range from probing the genetics of phenotype, to probing simple sequence repeats and genomic fluidity, microbiota and microbiome-mediated plasticity, and physiological adaptations to climate change. The residential program will foster a community of scholars who will transition from being students to research scientists and move from learning to discovery. Weekly enrichment activities will include seminars, field trips, and workshops aimed at highlighting the capacity of cells and organisms to alter their properties and behavior under changing biotic and abiotic conditions. Students will work together to write a scientific manuscript, attend graduate school and career workshops, and participate in a Poster Showcase to celebrate research accomplishments.California State University San MarcosYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes$6,000

Modern computer technology’s new procedures make it possible to explore mathematical concepts with computational speed and precision not available to previous generations of mathematicians. Computer simulation in particular plays a central role in the application of computer systems when conducting research in discrete mathematics, harnessing computer power to promote the use of new paradigms in mathematical discovery. Examples include converting XOR expressions to conjunctive normal form (CNF) and Nim-type games on connected graphs, both of which benefit from the insight produced by computer-generated examples. By using technology as a partner in research, computational methods provide the mathematically curious an invaluable resource with which to explore. The new technology makes use of such areas as numerical methods, precision arithmetic, and integer relation algorithms to calculate approximate values for integrals and infinite series, to search for relationships between mathematical values and constants, to construct counterexamples, and to develop new conjectures.Moravian UniversityYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes$5,400Support to attend a conference to present work, meal stipend is also provided, industry tours, and graduate workshops.

This REU program promotes undergraduate research by providing authentic research experiences for both underrepresented students and students who otherwise may not have mathematical research opportunities. In addition to being exposed to a wide range of research areas in mathematics, the REU participants will benefit from multi-mentoring by a diverse group of faculty members, as well as numerous professional development opportunities.

Through a series of research experiences and professional development activities, the REU participants will build a strong mathematical foundation for future study and work. The faculty mentors have crafted research projects on topics in their areas of expertise (applied mathematics, combinatorics, graph theory, group theory, number theory, and probability) and part of their active research programs. Each project contains open problems and previously unexplored avenues of research, and it is anticipated that some products will be suitable for publication. As a result, this REU program will also advance knowledge within the field of mathematics.
