                                   SUMMER 2010
PAID SUMMER RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS
                           via CRA-W/CDC DREU
            (DREU was known as the DMP from 1994-2008)

Application Deadline  February 15, 2010

The CRA-W/CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU)
Program matches promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a
summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution.
The objective of the DREU is to increase the number of women and
students from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in
the fields of computer science and engineering.  The DREU experience
is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school,
providing them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really
like and also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for
graduate admissions and fellowships.

Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks),
plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate.  Additional funds
may be available to support student conference travel, either during
the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DREU.

An on-line Application for students and faculty mentors, more
information about DREU, and webpages authored by previous participants
are available at:
     http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/
Application Deadline: February 15, 2010
Awards Announced: mid-March 2010

Notes for faculty mentors regarding the DREU Program:

* Cost sharing by faculty mentors is encouraged. The number of students
interested in the DREU program has increased substantially over the last
several years. To enable more students to participate, faculty are now
encouraged to provide funds to support (partially or fully) students;
the DREU will provide travel support for all students.

* All interested faculty are eligible to be DREU mentors. All interested
faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors. Nonetheless, based on the
documented benefits of role models with similar gender or from similar
demographic groups, it is anticipated that DREU funds will mostly be
used to support students matched with mentors from groups
underrepresented in computing. Hence, other mentors applying should
attempt to provide full funding for their students' stipends (the
program will provide travel support).

For more information about the DREU, consult the DREU webpages

association of more than 180 North American academic departments of
computer science and computer engineering; laboratories and centers
in industry, government, and academia engaging in basic computing
research; and affiliated professional societies.

The Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC, http://www.cdc-computing.org/)
is a joint organization of the ACM, CRA, and IEEE-CS.

DREU is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation with
additional support from AAAI, the Luce Foundation, and USENIX.
