Summer students will be immersed in research and learn basic and
applied biology through active participation. Working as part of our
research team, they will contribute to group research projects, design
short research projects, and present their work in an end-of-summer
student symposium.
Who Should Apply?
Undergraduates in the second or third year. Each REU position is
supported for ten weeks, with a stipend of $4,500. The program runs
from the first week in June until the first week of August 2013.
Students will be housed in a UT dormitory, and the costs of the
dormitory and meal plan are included in the program. Some funds will
be available to help defray the cost of traveling to Austin.
