The Miami University REU program in Ecology and Environment is a summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our program is an exciting opportunity for 9-12 undergraduate students to actively engage in a 10 week collaborative research project.

• Each student focuses on an independent research project.
  ‍
• Research opportunities are available in the lab or field (aquatic or terrestrial environments).
  ‍
• Small groups of students and mentors form clusters that meet regularly to discuss current literature related to their projects.
  ‍
• The summer includes field trips, short courses on ethics and professions in ecology and environmental science, and seminars by guest speakers.

• You must be enrolled in a U.S. undergraduate college or university and must be a United States citizen or permanent resident.
  ‍
• You must be enrolled for Fall 2024 semester at your home institution.

• We prefer applicants that are currently sophomores or juniors. This summer experience is most effective for students with at least two years of biology, ecology, or environmental science coursework.
