Can you See Yourself Doing Research This Summer?”

Dear Student, Congratulations on your desire to pursue a degree in a STEM Discipline. STEM or Science,

Technology, Engineering, and Math degrees are considered by many to be the most difficult to pursue yet most will agree that they are among the most satisfying and can be the most lucrative. As you are probably already aware, your major will require more critical thinking skills, study time, more units, and more time in college. Summer Research and/or Summer Enrichment Programs are an excellent way to gain hands on research experience to prepare for graduate school and the world of academia in the scientific community. Therefore, I encourage you to peruse the programs listed and apply to more than one in case your top pick is not available. Also, please encourage your classmates to also apply because today’s classmates will be tomorrow’s colleagues. Good Luck!

Tiffany Shaleen Reardon Associate Director of Retention Programs UC Berkeley Engineering Student Services

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Important Tips for Successful Applications:

1) Apply only to programs that you are eligible for.

2) If you have any uncertainties about applying for the program e-mail the contact person before you apply to the program.

3) Once you’ve submitted your application you may want to e-mail the program

coordinator to let him/her know that you’ve applied.

2017 REU Programs Booklet – Tiffany Reardon, UC Berkeley

3) Meet all the deadlines posted. Late applications reflect poorly and may jeopardize your chance of being selected.

4) Make sure to give your recommender(s) adequate time to write a polished letter of recommendation for you. Give them as much information as possible about you, the program you are applying to and how you see this program as beneficial to your academic and career goals. If possible, send your recommender a copy of your resume and personal statement or essay questions. It is preferable that your recommender is someone who knows of your potential to succeed in research. Letters from STEM Faculty are preferable.

5) Allow yourself enough time to gather required documentation such as official transcripts, medical insurance coverage forms, if needed. Some residential programs require that you have medical insurance in order to participate. If this is the case make sure you have this complete well before you begin the program.

6) Apply to more than one program.

7) Decide whether or not you can commit time to this program. If you are taking a summer course, decide how much time you will need to study and commute to class. Will this take time away from your research? Some programs have mandatory attendance at programs such as GRE Prep courses. Make sure that your schedule permits you to fully participate in all aspects of the program.

8) Familiarize yourself with the program. Avoid blanket statements such as, “I want to be accepted to a summer research program at MIT because it’s a good school.” Instead, talk about specific research being done at that institution and in this program. Give the names of faculty that you would like to work with.

9) Last but definitely not least, bring your applications to an advisor/faculty/mentor so they can review.

QUICK TIPS: US Citizens and Permanent Residents Criteria The majority of REU Programs are funded by the National Science Foundation and thus most of the funding sources are limited to funding US Citizens and Permanent Residents. However, there are some exceptions. In my experience, Ivy League and Private Schools can often fund students that are not US Citizens and Permanent Residents and may have additional funding streams that do not have this restriction. If you are not certain than email the program coordinator before you apply. Underrepresented and Underserved Populations, Broadening Participation First Generation College Student means that neither of your parents have graduated from a four-year institution in the United States. Sometimes students neglect to mention this and as you will see there are several sites that specifically are looking for first generation students. There are also a number of sites that are looking to recruit veterans, returning students, non-traditional students, and low income students. They will typically list this in the call for participants. There are also a significant number of programs that are looking to broadening participation in engineering by reaching out to underrepresented populations. The National Science Foundation’s definition of underrepresented is the following: African American (Black) Hispanics (Latinx), and American Indians or Alaska Natives. Women and LGBTQ students are also underrepresented as well as disabled students. Pacific Islanders are also underrepresented in Science and Engineering and several programs specific list these

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory "REU Site: CSHL NSF-REU Bioinformatics and Computational Neuroscience Description: The technological advances in this century open a new realm of biological questions that can be addressed experimentally. Large genomic sequence or image datasets are routinely and quickly acquired, but the resources and expertise to analyze this data present a challenge to researchers. CSHL’s unique NSF REU program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology addresses this need by providing early training to undergraduate students who might not otherwise pursue quantitative approaches. CSHL’s URP/REU students learn theory and techniques from an applied perspective, investigating an important biological problem rather than from the abstract perspective of computer science. Students are mentored by expert CSHL researchers, who combine biology, information theory and sophisticated computational techniques to address questions at the frontiers of modern genomics, bioinformatics, and neuroscience. In the past ten years, CSHL’s URP/REU program has recruited and trained a diverse group of students, many of whom are still working in bioinformatics or computational fields. Almost all URP/REU participants have continued in scientific careers and/or advanced degree programs at competitive institutions. The program provides students with a modern quantitative biology training program that aims to inspire young scientists to become active participants in modern biological research with its demands for quantitative and computational skills Site URL: http://www.cshl.edu/Education/NSF-REU-in-Bioinformatics-and-Computational-Neuroscience.html Level: Sophomores and Juniors.
