Study the potential impacts of global climate change stressors on organisms and ecosystems of the Atlantic Coastal Plain by participating in research experiences with faculty from the Biology Department at Georgia Southern University.

‍

The Georgia Southern University REU program in Coastal Plain Science is a summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our program is an exciting opportunity for 10 undergraduate students to be awarded fellowships to actively engage in a 10 week interdisciplinary research experience. This REU will be held on the Georgia Southern University Statesboro Campus.

​

• Students work in a research setting (laboratory and field) with faculty mentors
• $650/week stipend for 10-weeks (housing and meal plan options included)
• Students participate in professional development workshops throughout the summer
• Several field trips and guest lectures scheduled throughout the summer
• Present research at the end of the program in a scientific symposium

• Undergraduate participants: U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States.
• Participants must still be eligible to enroll in an undergraduate program in the Fall 2024.
• Students in all undergraduate levels/classifications are eligible to apply, but special consideration will be given to students in the first two years of their undergraduate degree (e.g., Freshmen, Sophomores), students from Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUI), Minority Serving Institutions (MSI), and military veterans.
• The MROC2S Program aims to promote a more diverse research community! Applicants from primarily undergraduate institutions, HBCU’s, or undergraduate institutions that were otherwise limited in research capability are encouraged to apply. Likewise, if you identify with a historically underrepresented group in STEM, we encourage you to apply!
