Smart Pathway to Incorporating Undergrads
Into Your Research
With more than 8,000 Rutgers-New Brunswick students typically enrolling in at least one class at SC&I yearly that alone should be a compelling reason to explore undergraduate grants. And there appears to be only a "one-size-fits-all" funding mechanism in this area: the NSF's REU. The Research Experiences for Undergraduates program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas funded by the NSF. REU projects involve students in a meaningful way in ongoing research or in projects specifically designed for the REU program. This undoubtedly would provide them with new and interesting programming. Take a look:
