The REU Program at the Unviersity of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) is a truly interdisciplinary experience in scientific research in "biosphere-atmosphere studies in the changing global environment." Scheduled for June 20 to August 15, 2009, the program provides hands-on experience and training in field biology and atmospheric students with all phases of research, from hypothesis formulation and data gathering to analysis, interpretation, and communication of scientific findings. During this eight-week program, students will:
-
Work closely with a selected mentor/professor as part of an on-going research project
-
Design, conduct, analyze, and report on a research project of their own
-
Participate in special workshops and group discussions designed to provide the philosophical bases and technical tools needed to carry out scientific research.
REU runs for eight weeks (June 20 to August 15, 2009) at the UM Biological Station. Participation in the REU Program is intense and rewarding. Funded by the National Science Foundation, REU students receive the following compensation: a stipend of $4,400 each; travel and research supplies allowance; room and board expenses at UMBS for eight weeks).
