BIO Research Experiences for Undergraduates

2012 PI Workshop - Save the Date - April 12-14, Rosslyn VA Holiday Inn

Please share information about the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) with your REU students. REU students are often competitive for this award because of the independent research they conduct at the undergraduate level and their strong interest in pursuing graduate studies. The GRFP provides 3 years of Fellowship support to our nation’s best future scientists and engineers who seek research-based masters or PhD degrees in the science and engineering fields supported by NSF.

The Summer 2010 BIO REU Pilot Assessment Report has been posted in the Assessment and Evaluation page.

The Summer 2011 URSSA Instructions for PIs has been posted in Resources > Assessment and Evaluation.
