The projects involve a variety of research tasks under faculty supervision. While the duties assigned vary, these projects offer exceptional educational opportunities. All regularly enrolled undergraduates in good standing are eligible to apply for an Undergraduate Research Opportunities stipend, regardless of financial need. The appropriate faculty members will then make their own selections. Descriptions of projects are available during the last week of classes for the following semesters.
Applications are due the first day of the second week of classes.
The application deadline is in early Spring. Eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent Residents. Participants typically spend 8-10 weeks on the host campus, and receive a stipend and room and board plus a travel allowance. The REU summer research programs are an excellent opportunity for Berkeley undergraduates to experience another academic environment while doing research.
