[Rajkumar Agarwal]

The Department of Physiology and Neurobiology, University of Connecticut offers Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program Funded by the National Science Foundation

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program

The program offers paid summer research opportunities in the areas of renal and muscle physiology; developmental neurobiology, synaptic plasticity and neural circuits; and other areas in molecular and cell biology, microbiology and immunology.

Interested students, especially underrepresented minorities, veterans, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities from institutions with limited research opportunities are encouraged to apply.

Rising juniors and seniors are eligible (i.e., students who have completed their sophomore or junior year.)

Their primary goal is to give students from primarily non-Ph.D. granting institutions opportunities to experience a stimulating research environment.

Students can expect to acquire skills and knowledge to help them enter graduate research programs.

The research program will be accompanied by seminars and a social program.

Each student prepares a scientific poster of their research for presentation at an on campus REU symposium.

The program lasts for 10 weeks, from Tuesday morning, May 31, through Friday August 5. Students must be available for the entire 10 week period.

All students receive a stipend, a meal allowance and housing (with other REU participants) in our modern, air-conditioned University Dormitories.

UConn is located midway between New York City (2.5 hours) and Boston (2 hours) in scenic eastern Connecticut.
