REU Site: Natural History Research Experiences

An NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Smithsonian Institution (Washington, DC) in the geosciences: undergraduates spend the summer on a research project with a faculty mentor. It takes about 12 students a summer for 10 weeks. NSF pays REU students a stipend and funds participants who are US citizens, nationals or permanent residents. Dates and how to apply are on the NSF award page and the host department. NSF funds the award to 2028.
