We are particularly interested in supporting talented students from institutions where access to marine science and to research projects is limited and who are from underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Please help us to "spread the word" about the terrific NSF REU program and, in particular, about the Maryland Sea Grant REU program. We would be grateful if you could forward this email on to your students and to colleagues at other academic institutions that might have qualified undergraduates.
Since 1989, NSF has supported bringing students to conduct individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at either Chesapeake Biological Lab or Horn Point Lab of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
If you have any questions please feel free to email or call me (301-405-6373). I apologize for any cross posting of this announcement.
Sincerely,
Fredrika Moser
