Updated: January 31, 2008
The tentative dates for the 2008 Program are from May 26th to August 1st. Please be aware that these dates may be slightly modified, depending on the availability of student housing.
Special notice: In response to several questions, it should be clarified that you must be enrolled through Summer 2007 to be eligible for participating in this program.
Since
2003, Mote Marine Laboratory has been a host site for the National
Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Program. The Mote REU Program offers paid research training experiences
in estuarine science to 10 undergraduate students during a 10-week
period between late May and early August. REU participants are paired with Mote scientists and conduct mentored
research projects related to their advisor's expertise. Students
gain experience in science communication by presenting the results of
their project in a manuscript-style research paper and orally at a
laboratory-wide research symposium. Participants attend research
seminars and workshops on career skills in science. Students may also have the opportunity to present their research
findings at professional conferences.
