Weather, Climate, and Society Research Experience for Undergraduates @ University of South Florida
University of South Florida College of Arts & Sciences
This Weather, Climate, and Society (WCS) REU will be hosted by the University of South Florida (USF). We have an exciting interdisciplinary program that will focus on rising sophomores pairing each participant in a team with other WCS REU students, and with research mentors in the physical and social sciences. The teams will conduct research on one of a range of topics from the social and physical factors which affect hurricane evacuation decision-making, to assessing the social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities of coastal regions to sea level rise, and biological processes involved in climate change.
In addition to an intensive 9-week mentored research experience, the program provides experiential learning, professional development workshops, remote seminars that offer interaction with national and international scientists, trainings in social and physical research techniques and interdisciplinary perspectives on social and physical aspects, and impacts of severe weather and climate-related disasters.
Students are paid a $500/week stipend along with free housing, food stipend, travel allowance to/from Tampa, FL, and a travel allowance to present their research at a national conference.

Greenhouse Volunteer
Deanna DeMattio
This project utilizes a greenhouse to grow a various amount of plants and vegetables in Mars sunlight in a hydroponics system to research methods on how to grow plants on Mars. As a researcher, you will help in collecting data and monitoring the plant growth. At the beginning of the fall semester, there will also be a lot of construction.

National Science Foundation Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
National Science Foundation
NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location
Applications are typically due starting late January to late February.
If you need help with your application materials please contact Wes Lewis at lewisw4@erau.edu or call 386.226.6424

Research Experiences for Undergraduates @ Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences
Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences
Spend your summer at Harvard University performing cutting-edge research in world-class laboratories. Focus on an in-depth research project while exploring multidisciplinary research topics and honing your science communication skills.
Participants are part of a large, diverse research community through organized and informal interactions with students, mentors, and faculty. We provide a focused effort for mentoring and training undergraduates in several exciting branches of science and engineering, including biomaterials, materials science, nanotechnology, robotics, computer science, and energy and the environment. See the Program Details page for the REU program workshops, seminars and project deliverables. The Research Areas page describes the research centers or institutes that fund REU students.
We are seeking undergraduates from chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, mathematics (applied and pure), statistics, and engineering. Students without prior research experience, including freshman and sophomore students, are especially encouraged to apply.
Applications are due by Feb. 1, 2019
