Nano REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates)

The Nano REU program at West Virginia University (WVU) will run from May 17-July 24, 2015.  This program is in its ninth year.  The research focus is nanotechnology with applications to early disease detection, biometrics, and energy efficiency.  Applicants should be rising sophomore, junior, or senior undergraduates students majoring in science, engineering, or mathematics.  Underrepresented minorities, women, persons with disabilities and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces from primarily undergraduate institutions in WV and the Appalachian region are especially encouraged to apply.  Participants receive $5,000 stipend + room and board for 10-weeks of research in WVU faculty research labs.  Review of applications will begin on/after Feb. 13, 2015.  More information about the Nano REU program can be found in the attached flier.
