The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at Kellogg Biological Station near Kalamazoo, MI “Understanding biological responses to global change in a field station community” gives students an opportunity to conduct full-time research in collaboration with outstanding faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.

What are the benefits of an REU at KBS?

• Join a dynamic group of students and faculty for an authentic field research experience.
• Learn the process of research: reading the literature, formulating questions and hypotheses, designing a study, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting results as a research poster.
• Explore if a career in research is the right choice.
• Build references for applications to graduate school or other professional programs.
• Participate in professional development seminars to think broadly about STEM career options.

• We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in the sciences, first-generation college students, students that attend colleges with limited research opportunities (e.g., small liberal arts and community colleges), and US military veterans currently enrolled as undergraduates in STEM majors.
