2025 Sustainable Land and Water Resources Research Experience for Undergraduates

The National Center for Earth-Surface Dynamics is now accepting applications for the 2025 Sustainable Land and Water Resources Research Experience for Undergraduates! 

About the program: The Sustainable Land and Water Resources Research Experience for Undergraduates (SLAWR REU) is a 10-week summer program that explores the interactions between physical, natural, and social processes through the weaving of Indigenous knowledge with Western knowledge to advance scientific understanding and support tribal management decisions. 

With a focus on community-based participatory research and diverse interdisciplinary research teams, students learn the key elements of land and water resources that are essential to improving management practices. Projects take place at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities; the Fond du Lac Reservation in Northern Minnesota; and Salish Kootenai College on the Flathead Reservation in Montana. 

You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to apply for this program. The program is open to undergraduate students majoring in civil engineering, geosciences, ecology, mathematics, social sciences, or related fields. We encourage applications from students of all genders who are Native American, tribal college students, community college students, non-traditional students, veterans, students who have been historically under-represented in their discipline, and students who are first-generation college students.

Students receive a $6000 stipend and all program-related costs (housing, food, and transportation) are covered. Students are also provided up to $1000 to share their research at a professional conference after the program is over.

The deadline to apply is February 2, 2025. Visit http://reuslawr.org for more information and to fill out an application. Additionally, if you have any questions, please reach out to us at slawr-reu@umn.edu.

2025 Fred Hutch Summer Undergraduate Research Program | Catalog of Biomedical Research Internships

The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) hosts a summer internship that is designed to provide biomedical research experience and mentorship for undergraduate students of rising senior status. We would appreciate your help promoting the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) among students at St. Olaf College. I have attached an informational flyer that offers an overview of the program and a brief snapshot of important dates below, including how to apply.

 

About the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)

The SURP is an intensive, 9-week internship designed to provide research experience and mentorship for rising-senior undergraduate students who are interested in biomedical research. Under the guidance of a faculty mentor, students will:

• Complete an independent research project;
• Attend we
  ekly research seminars;
• Participate in professional development workshops designed to facilitate the preparation of competitive applications for graduate/medical school; and
• Present their findings at a competitive poster session.

The program will run from Monday, June 16 – Friday, August 15, 2025. An online application for the 2025 SURP is now available on the SURP website.

 

The application deadline is midnight Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Friday, January 10, 2025. Letters of recommendation for up to two references are due by midnight Pacific Standard Time (PST) on Friday, January 17, 2025. 

 

Other Biomedical Research Internships

I also wanted to share with you a resource that my colleagues and I developed, which is a catalog of biomedical research internships offered nationwide for high school, undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, graduate, and first-year medical students. Feel free to share this resource with faculty and students at your institution.

Greetings from the Chemistry MS program at the University of Minnesota Duluth! We hope that your fall semester has gotten off to a great start. We are excited to be recruiting for our Fall 2025 cohort and invite you to forward this message to students and colleagues.   We will be offering a virtual Chemistry MS Information Session on Tuesday, November 19 at 12:00 PM (central time). Register for the virtual info session here!

Our Chemistry MS program comprises a core group of 31 research faculty working in state of the art research laboratories with all of the resources to pursue cutting-edge research in interdisciplinary chemical sciences. Our program and researchers are focused solely on our Master’s students, so they will be working independently on their own research projects with personal attention from faculty research advisors.  We offer graduate teaching assistantships with generous compensation packages, including: Academic year stipend with most of our students also receiving a summer stipend  Full tuition coverage (up to 14 credits per semester) Health and wellness benefits The University of Minnesota Duluth is the second-largest university in the Minnesota University system, and is located on the beautiful western shore of Lake Superior. Duluth, MN, recently voted the best town in America by readers of Outside magazine, contains hundreds of miles of hiking, mountain biking, running, and skiing trails within the city limits as well as beaches, breweries, restaurants, and other cultural activities.  The Department and University strive to attract and retain students and employees with varying identities and backgrounds. Therefore, we especially encourage applications from students who belong to groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields. Applications must be submitted online. Priority deadline January 7, 2025, with applications being considered on a rolling basis thereafter.
