Opportunities for Undergraduate Students (Stony Brook and Other Institutions):
The University of Central Florida is pleased to announce that we are now accepting
applications for our NSF REU Site: Conservation, Restoration and Communication. The
best way to showcase the depth and breadth of our Research Experience for Undergraduates
program is to share the student projects from summer 2022. Students from the 2022
cohort undertook research projects in a wide variety of topics, including lionfish
eDNA, oyster reef restoration, sea turtle ecology, puma and otter genetics, pollinator
garden success, invasive frogs, sunflower chemical ecology, wetlands biogeochemistry,
and coastal ecohydrology.
For 1o weeks in the summer of 2023(May 21 - July 28), we seek to fund 10 students
who are under-represented in STEM, have completed their first or second years of higher
education, and currently have limited hands-on research opportunities at their home
institution. We additionally hope to be able to support students who are veterans,
non-traditional (over 30 years old), are currently at community colleges, and/or are
the first in their families to participate in higher education.
