SUMMER 2011
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, 2011
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, 2011
Awards Announced: mid-March 2011
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).
