Summary: Supports interdisciplinary undergraduate research at the intersection of computing and communication foundations, mathematics, and statistics through NSF REU Sites.
Key Information: The Dear Colleague Letter is archived; proposals are directed to the REU Sites and Supplements solicitation.
This NSF Dear Colleague Letter invites interdisciplinary Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites proposals exploring high-impact topics linking computing and communication foundations with mathematics and statistics. The initiative brings researchers and students from different disciplines together to initiate new research directions and develop skills for shared research problems. It connects NSF’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering and Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorates.
Projects engage undergraduates meaningfully in ongoing research or research designed specifically for the REU program. They provide high-quality interaction with faculty or other research mentors, appropriate facilities, and professional development opportunities. The program seeks valuable undergraduate educational experiences while drawing on the nation’s diverse student talent pool and broadening participation in science and engineering.
