Funder: U.S. National Science Foundation
Due Dates (Anticipated): October 2026 (full application, projected)
Funding Amounts: Typical REU Site awards range from $350,000–$500,000 total for up to 3 years; funding supports undergraduate stipends, site operations, and PI costs.
Summary: Supports interdisciplinary REU Sites engaging undergraduates in research at the intersection of computing, communication foundations, mathematics, and statistics.
Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; dates and details are subject to change pending NSF solicitation updates.
Description
This National Science Foundation (NSF) opportunity invites proposals for interdisciplinary Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites focused on high-impact topics that bridge Computing and Communication Foundations with Mathematics and Statistics. The aim is to foster collaborative research environments where undergraduate students can engage in projects utilizing approaches such as theorem proving, formal methods, algorithmic foundations of data science, cryptography, differential privacy, and information theory. These sites are intended to encourage cross-disciplinary learning, spark new research directions, and cultivate the next generation of researchers equipped to address complex challenges at the intersection of these fields.
