2009 Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowships in Science by The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) - The Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Program provides opportunities for faculty mentors to support promising undergraduates. Established in the summer of 1990, the program facilitates a diversity of research opportunities that allow students at primarily undergraduate institutions to experience first-hand the excitement and challenges of careers in natural and social science, mathematics, and engineering. The Program links student, faculty mentor, and college or university with a sponsor, thus providing an association not otherwise possible. Depending upon our sources, fellowships will be between $3000 and $5000. Each fellowship provides funding for a student stipend and may provide additional support for travel, faculty honorarium, and equipment expenses.

National Science Foundation: The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects designed especially for the purpose. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department, or on interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in DoD-relevant research areas. (2) REU Supplements may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects or may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements.
Undergraduate student participants in either Sites or Supplements must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions.

The SPGRE Program at University of North Carolina.
This program offers students throughout the country the opportunity to work full-time on research projects under the direction of UNC-CH faculty members. The program is designed for students sincerely interested in pursuing graduate studies, preferably the Ph.D. degree. SPGRE is one effort to address the obvious shortage of Ph.D. recipients from underrepresented groups particularly those from African American, Native American, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican populations. Students participating in SPGRE may be involved in research ranging from molecular biology to physical chemistry or from American colonial history to 20th century American literature. The range of research options is extremely broad and can be tailored for just about any participating student's interest.
