The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame will sponsor a NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program from May 19 - July 25, 2025. The program consists of 10 weeks of full-time research, weekly seminars, regular group meetings in their research labs, and special workshops on topics like career choices in the sciences, ethics, and scientific communication. Participants also have the opportunity to join a large undergraduate summer research community with hundreds of summer students across the Notre Dame campus and participate in various social and professional events. Lastly, participants will give a formal presentation at the end of the summer at the All-Summer Research Symposium, which includes all the summer programs across the university, as well as write a research paper/proposal at the end of the summer. If accepted into the program, you will receive a stipend of $6,000, which includes $1,000 lab supplies, free housing on campus, $1,400 fund for meals, and travel expenses up to $500.
