Maryland Sea Grant Summer Undergrad Research on the Chesapeake Bay (REU)

Are you looking for a summer research internship studying ocean, coastal, or environmental science? We invite you to check out the Maryland Sea Grant Summer REU program. They 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. They select undergrads in many disciplines, including engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, ecology, and marine and environmental science. Their 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, they 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. They believe bringing together students from many disciplines, backgrounds and parts of the country makes for a more interesting and educational summer experience.

They 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 their website to find out more (www.mdsg.umd.edu/reu).
