This REU Training Site has the mission to support formerly incarcerated undergraduate students in gaining research experience in computational biology, the principles of scientific thinking, and research scholarship.
The program seeks to recruit formerly incarcerated students with extensive math coursework and excellent math grade performance who are not majoring in a STEM discipline, favoring early students who either have not yet decided on a major or are still uncertain about their choice. Community college applicants are especially welcome. Eligible applicants include military service veterans and students over 30 years of age, all groups that are historically underrepresented in STEM education and employment.
Applications accepted through April 1, 2022.
