NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates in Biology/Biochemistry
The NSF-Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) Program in Biology and Biochemistry is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation and is limited to students from our partner institutions: Barry University, College of St. Elizabeth, Florida A&M University, Grinnell College, Jackson State University, Medgar Evers College/Kingsborough Community College, Missouri State University, Prairie View A&M University, Truman State University, University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Xavier University of Louisiana. Students selected for the program will be placed in an appropriate research laboratory based on their research interests. MU faculty mentors have academic appointments in either the Division of Biological Sciences or the Department of Biochemistry.
- Eligibility:
- Applicants must meet the basic eligibility requirements. Students must be enrolled at one of the partner institutions and must apply through the faculty liaison at their home school (Barry, St. Elizabeth, Florida A&M, Grinnell, Jackson State, Medgar Evers/KCC, MSU, Prairie View A&M, Truman State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and Xavier). Students must intend to pursue a PhD or combined MD/PhD in a life science discipline.
- Pay:
- The internship includes a stipend of $3,400, funds for one hour of academic credit, travel to and from Columbia, on-campus housing and meals.
