Summer 2021 Undergrad Research on Chesapeake Bay (REU)

Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal or environmental science? Check out the Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program. We bring upper-level undergraduate students to the Chesapeake Bay to conduct individual research projects with a scientist-mentor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. We select undergrads in many disciplines, including engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology and marine and environmental science. Our program runs for 12-weeks from May 23 to August 14, 2021. Each REU fellow will receive: $7,200 stipend Free housing at your research lab Round-trip travel expenses In particular, we encourage students from colleges and universities where access to marine science and to research opportunities is limited and who are from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math. We believe bringing together students from many disciplines, backgrounds and parts of the country makes for a more interesting and educational summer experience.

We are accepting applications for the 2021 class now through February 19 and recognize that the state of the pandemic may impact how the program operates. Please visit our websiteto find out more or drop me a note at reu@mdsg.umd.edu.
