Come spend nine weeks at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) in Pellston, Michigan, conducting your own research project through the “Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region” Research Experience Opportunity for Undergraduates (REU) Program.

Be mentored by one of our esteemed faculty or research staff members and workshop with fellow REU participants throughout the summer. Receive a $5,000 stipend, free room and board at UMBS, and a travel allowance.

The 2017 REU program will last from June 20 to August 19, 2017.

Previous research topics draw on a variety of scientific disciplines, such as atmospheric sciences, biology, ecology, hydrology, and others. Example projects include carbon and mercury cycling from forests to lakes, atmospheric cycling, the effects of invasive species on dragonflies, climate change effects on Pitcher’s thistle in Lake Michigan Dunes, aquatic and forest floor food webs, and others.

The program, which is pending funding from the National Science Foundation, is nationally-competitive and open to students from any college or university. Underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.
