Carey Institute Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program

Institute of Ecosystem Studies Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program

Each summer, the Institute of Ecosystem Studies' Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program provides 8-12 undergraduate students an opportunity to conduct quality research in ecology at a well-established research institute. Students receive a stipend of $4,800 for their participation in the program, which runs for 12-weeks from the end of May to late August, and IES provides housing for students for the entire summer. Students of diverse backgrounds come from different parts the country to participate in the program.

The program emphasizes the community nature of the scientific enterprise. As participants design and complete their independent research projects they consult with other scientists, present their plans for critique, and then speak in our annual Undergraduate Research Symposium and write a paper for a peer-reviewed IES Occasional Publication. The program provides students many opportunities to reflect upon and think about the process of science and its place in the world. Seminars and informal meetings provide for training in many facets of the research process. Through a case study of a regional environmental issue, a career forum, and a day spent teaching high school students from a nearby city; students explore the social, political, intellectual and personal dimensions of being an ecologist.
