to undergraduates for participation in an REU Site Program sponsored by NSF in
collaboration with the Department of Defense through the Awards to Stimulate and
Support Undergraduate Research Experiences (ASSURE) program. This
multi-disciplinary, multi-departmental REU program is open to all
undergraduates enrolled in Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering. Students will
conduct an independent research on the development of sensors and biosensors.
The program will emphasize hands-on research experiences. Students will
participate in weekly seminars to understand how sensors can be used in
different areas of biology and engineering. The program will also provide preparation
for graduate school, discussion on ethics in science, and social activities to
foster the integration of students into the research environment. Upon
completion of the projects, all students will communicate their results through
poster presentations. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

maintained to contact students and monitor their progress after they have
completed the program. Women, underrepresented minorities and first generation
college students from institutions serving minorities or from institutions with
limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
