Research Experience for Undergrads at GSU
I received the following on an email listserv and though I’d pass it along. I did an REU at Delaware myself and it was a wonderful experience.
The Department of Geosciences at Georgia State will host a NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site this summer called “Addressing Social and Environmental Disparities through Community Geography and Geographic Information Systems”. The program runs June 18th – August 2nd.
Working with faculty mentors, 10 selected undergraduates will engage in community-based research and fieldwork in some of Atlanta’s poorest neighborhoods to quantitatively and qualitatively examine neighborhood change, property markets, air and soil quality, urban green spaces, and neighborhood visioning in partnership with neighborhood residents and community groups.
Each REU student will receive a competitive funding package, including: a $3000 stipend, up to $250 in travel support to/from Atlanta, up to $750 for conference presentations, free room and board at GSU, and 3 required texts.
Applications are due Friday, March 23rd @ 5 PM EST. Complete application instructions and the application form can be found at http://csaw.gsu.edu/nsf-reu/application-instructions/
