Participants in the program will conduct research and take part in group activities including seminars on cutting-edge areas of materials physics; workshops focusing on graduate programs, career opportunities in the physical sciences and engineering, and scientific communications skills; and field trips to laboratories on and off campus. You can get a better idea of these activities from the links above. For the Summer program the anticipated stipend is $6,000. There is an allowance for travel to/from Gainesville, FL, and also housing is provided. Weekends during the program will be left open for participants to explore the abundant attractions of North and Central Florida.

• REU participants must be undergraduate students and must be citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States or its possessions.
• We especially encourage applications from members of groups under-represented in science and engineering, from students with disabilities, and from students enrolled at institutions where research opportunities are limited. The University of Florida is an equal opportunity institution.
