Explore St. Kate's MPH Program: Hands-On Research

 

How are Master of Public Health (MPH) in Global Health students at St. Catherine University improving the health of communities locally, regionally, and around the world?

As a student in St. Kate's MPH in Global Health program, you'll learn with faculty who are conducting leading-edge public health research - and have opportunities to conduct your own research and complete projects that advance public health:

• How does climate change put more women at risk for domestic abuse?  As the Washington Post noted recently, research in Kenya by St. Kate's faculty members showed how the effects of extreme weather events exacerbated violence against women in their homes. 
   
• St. Kate's alumni and students are helping improve care for women, children, and families impacted by the cycle of addiction and trauma by conducting data analysis and evaluation at Wayside Recovery Center.
   
• St. Kate's students recently completed practicum projects on a range of public health issues in Ghana on sexual and reproductive health, the health of children with disabilities, malnutrition, and AIDS prevention.

Are you ready to advance public health in communities at home and around the world? Consider the MPH in Global Health program:

University of North Texas Summer 2023 NSF-REU Program now accepting applications

 

College of Wooster's NSF-REU Program for Summer 2023

 

The College of Wooster’s NSF-REU program for this summer is now accepting applications. Our application is now open through February 28th. Please contact us if you have any questions about the program.  We want to reach as broad a range of students as possible! 

 Please find our flyer attached, or available at our website. 

 

The College of Wooster's 10-week REU program is housed in the Physics Department and includes a range of projects from astrophysics to quantum optics, from granular materials to chemistry.  More information about potential projects is available at our webpage.

 

The College of Wooster is a liberal arts college long recognized for its mentored undergraduate research. The research topics we offer in the sciences mix experiment, computation, and theory and are designed to fully incorporate even novice undergraduate students as full collaborators. Our faculty have designed on-going research programs that are both innovative and accessible to undergraduates. We treat our students as co-discoverers and teach them to become independent scientific thinkers and practitioners. 

 

Participants also take part in a variety of workshops for career-building activities, and we have multiple social events throughout the program.  All students write a paper to summarize their work and present their work to the broader community at our end-of-the-summer poster session.

 

Our program will begin Monday, May 22 and will conclude Friday, July 28. Students are paid a $6500 stipend. Campus housing is available to rent, and funds for students to relocate to Wooster are also available. Wooster is located in an idyllic part of Northeast Ohio, about an hour from Cleveland and ninety minutes from Columbus.

 

Many of our participants have completed only a single year of college.  Our program is especially adaptable to students from a wide range of backgrounds because our faculty are dedicated to mentoring undergraduate research programs.  Students should have completed one year of introductory physics at the college level.  We do not have a GPA cut-off but consider each applicant holistically.

UW-Madison Summer Program for Undergraduate Urology Research

 

University of Nebraska Summer Research Program

The University of Nebraska is currently accepting applications for the Nebraska Summer Research Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. This 10-week, intensive undergraduate research program offers students the opportunity to learn and conduct research in our state-of-the-art facilities while previewing graduate school life at a Big Ten institution. Most of our research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) are funded by the NSF, USDA, or NIFA. 

Students will enhance their academic resume, work closely with faculty and peers, and have fun with social and professional development activities, all while receiving numerous benefits.

 Students historically underrepresented in graduate education are encouraged to apply; however, due to funding restrictions, participation is limited to U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents (those holding a green card). 

 

Find the 2023 programs here. We are committed to quality mentoring and research projects and limit our summer offerings to active research labs and projects led by faculty who have established themselves as excellent undergraduate student mentors.  

 Students can apply for up to three different research groups. Priority review of applications begin Wednesday, February 1 and all applications are due by Wednesday, March 1. https://srp.unl.edu/Application

Georgia Tech Aquatic Chemical Ecology Summer Research Program

 

The Program

Aquatic Chemical Ecology (ACE) at Georgia Tech is a summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program. ACE at Georgia Tech gives you the opportunity to perform exciting research with our faculty in the schools of Biological Sciences, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. You'll participate in research with one or more of our faculty, learn about careers in science and engineering, and see how scientists blend knowledge and skills from physics, chemistry and biology to investigate some of the most challenging problems in environmental sciences. We encourage applications from undergraduate students who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S., especially attending universities other than Georgia Tech. The following three areas comprise the research activities covered by faculty in the Aquatic Chemical Ecology program: 

• Area 1. Biological and geochemical transformations of chemicals in aquatic ecosystems.
• Area 2. Sensory biology and ecology of aquatic chemical communication.
• Area 3. Ecological roles and consequences of chemicals in aquatic environments.

Overview

Our ACE NSF-sponsored summer research program places you with a faculty mentor for a 10-week summer period spanning from Sunday May 21st, 2023 to Friday July 28, 2023. You'll design a research project, carry it out and present the results to the professors and students in a final symposium. You will receive a stipend amount of $7000. To live on campus safely, you will also be provided an individual bedroom with shared kitchen facilities in an environment that is structured based on CDC, state and federal guidelines regarding social distancing, face covering, on-campus surveillance testing​, and vaccinations. Your summer cohort will engage in activities specific to ACE, but also interact and be co-housed with participants in five other College of Sciences REU programs.

Our ACE faculty (in Civil & Environmental Engineering, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, and Biological Sciences) form a core group with a strong history of working together on joint research grants in this area, with the skills required to guide undergraduates in basic and applied research on multiple phases of chemical signaling processes.
