Schedule

During the 10-week summer session, all REU students will complete a mentored research experience led by the matched CBER faculty member. Structured programming will be available to enhance professional development and project progress.

This REU site is not accepting applications for summer 2025.  We hope to continue the Dare to BE FIRST Program in summer 2026 if NSF funding is renewed.
