Grant Support for Computational and Data Science REU Supplements

Researchers with existing NSF grants or applying for new or continuing grants may apply for a NSF Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) supplement to support up to two undergraduate research assistants. If your grant has a computational or data science research focus and you wish to participate in the iCER/CMSE Advanced Computational Research Experiences for Students (ACRES) Summer REU, please contact the iCER/CMSE ACRES REU PI, Dr. Brian O'Shea to discuss your participation. In addition, iCER can provide you with the following documentation: 

• A description of student activities, including research and technical training support provided through the iCER/CMSE ACRES REU.
