The program seeks undergraduates who are in the freshman or sophomore year of study in chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, or physics who are interested in biology, and who are in good standing in their home institutions. We do not encourage applications from students majoring in biology without strong background in one of the above sciences, nor students in their third undergraduate year or beyond. Eligibility requires continuing undergraduate status in the term following the REU summer. Competitive applicants should have a good GPA, especially in the field of their major. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The program does not accept students from Princeton University. We welcome applications of students who are from groups that are historically underrepresented in graduate education or STEM employment. Students from community colleges are especially encouraged to apply. Application deadline is January 31 each year at 23:59 EST.
