Thank you everyone for making our program such a success ! Our three-year grant for the ’20-’21, ’21-’22, and ’22-’23 years has now run its course. We will be applying for a renewal but, due to the schedule of grant reviewing, do not anticipate being able to offer our program during the summer of 2024.
We hope we will be back for the summer of 2025. Please check in with us in late fall of 2024.
In the meantime, do check out all the other amazing REU programs supported by the National Science Foundation:
