Each year, the program enables up to 12 highly qualified individuals to undertake two-year fellowships at one of three nationally prominent universities -- Harvard University, the University of California-Berkeley (in collaboration with the University of California-San Francisco); and The University of Michigan. Scholars have access to the full range of university resources and receive stipends from the university of $74,000 for the first year and $77,000 for the second year. Limited financial support is available for research-related expenses. Scholars will be free of teaching, consulting and administrative responsibilities during their time in the program.
Candidates are encouraged to make inquiries and begin preliminary discussions with the National Program Office as early as possible.

REU Sites typically support between 8-12 students for 8-12 weeks during the summer. Sites should be focused around a common discipline or theme and should show plans for moving undergraduates from dependent to independent researcher status.
The deadline is September 15 annually, and the
program announcement is available on the web at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2003/nsf03577/nsf03577.htm.
