The IMOD REU program is designed to provide undergraduate students from 2yr and 4yr institutions with an opportunity to participate in authentic research in chemical synthesis of quantum photonic materials and integration printable electronic applications under the mentorship of world-class faculty and graduate students.

Participants embark on a nine- to ten-week immersive research project in a single IMOD research lab and produce an abstract and poster summarizing their work. Students may be placed at a number of different participating IMOD labs and will participate in shared virtual seminars and symposia and will become members of the IMOD community.

• The program is open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
• This program prioritizes students from non-IMOD partnering locations who have completed one or two years of college, community college or tribal college.
• Students must be 18 years old by the beginning of the REU sessions to work in the lab.
