The program will begin with a week-long training where students are taught machine learning (ML) / deep learning (/DL) methods. They will work for the remaining nine weeks on a specific research project under the guidance of a pair of research mentors, one from the project’s research area and the other with expertise in machine learning. Students will be trained to apply machine learning and to participate in research where these tools are at the center of scientific discovery, preparing them to apply machine learning methods in other fields. Students will openly share their models and tools, including their home institutions, an undergraduate research symposium on the University of Illinois campus, and the science and engineering research community. | National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | $6,000 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Students will participate in professional development activities focusing on preparing for graduate school and research related careers. They will also participate in peer networking and social activities. Successful REU applicants will be paired with a faculty mentor from a core CEM department (Physics, Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemistry) and will perform experimental or computational research projects aligned with CEM focal areas. | The Ohio State University | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | US citizens or permanent residents enrolled in an undergraduate degree program in physics, materials science, chemistry, mechanical engineering or electrical/computer engineering.

It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from under-represented groups, will be trained through this program. The program focus meets a critical national need to train students in the fields of conservation and restoration using cutting-edge tools and techniques. Interwoven into the experience will be science communication training. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. The scientific focus of this REU Site is the conservation and restoration of diverse taxa (e.g. sea turtles, oysters, mangroves, fishes, frogs, honeybees, sunflowers, wading birds, captive bred species, etc.) and ecosystems (oceans, beaches, estuaries, wetlands, etc.) with a focus on Florida. Human activities often seek to improve natural systems through conservation and restoration. Limited understanding of these processes, however, makes success difficult. UCF’s Biology Department is home to many experts in these ever-expanding fields. Our REU mentors combine field data collection with cutting-edge laboratory research (e.g., eDNA, metabolomics). This REU program focuses on inquiry-based research projects developed by students with support from their mentors. Directly connected to both conservation and restoration is communication. Students participating in this REU will enhance their communication skills with the goal of each student developing a science identity by the end of summer. Professional development training is designed to remove common barriers to success; workshops include ethics and responsible research conduct. | University of Central Florida | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Undergraduate students who are underrepresented in STEM, students with no/limited research opportunities at their home institutions, non-traditional students, veterans | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | $6,000 | Potential support for conference presentation attendance, research supplies, publication fees. | We will follow university guidance. | ||||||||||||||

Our site will begin operation on May 21, 2023, and end on July 30, 2023. The REU site supports ten students each summer in a ten-week program. A group of research-active faculty members at the Department of Chemistry serve as their mentors. Undergraduate students are recruited through this site from ECU and other local, regional, state, and national colleges, with an emphasis on the recruitment of students from groups that are underrepresented in the sciences and from institutions that have limited access to research opportunities. This REU site aims to provide training in contemporary chemical and biochemical research. Students will also participate in a series of professional development and outreach activities, which are structured to foster knowledge of research ethics and intellectual property, enhance communication skills, and increase the chance for success in higher education and scientific careers. The diverse student cohort trained at this site will be ready for graduate schools and will eventually join the country’s technical workforce. | East Carolina University | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Students from underrepresented groups (women, NSF-defined underrepresented minorities in sciences) and students from academic institutions with limited research opportunities, including community colleges, are especially encouraged to apply | Yes | $5,000 | housing allowance, meals and travel support | |||||||||||||||||||
