Although there is no deadline for applications, students who apply by February have a better selection of laboratories to choose from. Preference is given to students who are juniors or seniors, with strong science backgrounds, good grade point averages, and excellent references. Although previous laboratory experience is helpful, it is not required. Students are paid a small stipend and are expected to work full time for at least 10 weeks. For local students, continuation in the laboratory during the school year may be possible.
Students are responsible for their own housing.
For information or an application, contact Dr. Christine Moravec . The Cleveland Clinic's REU Program is located in the Department of Biomedical Engineering , a component of the Lerner Research Institute, which is one of the major divisions of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. The Cleveland Clinic provides a somewhat different experience than that offered through the usual National Science Foundation REU Site, in that it is organized as a nominally six months long co-operative engineering position. Teamwork between the CCF and the home institution and among the students is a major goal. Development of the student's research leadership skills along with technical training are highly emphasized.
