Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University - Macromolecules and Interfaces InstituteThanks to the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) grants (funding pending) - withfocuses on the Design and Delivery of Polymer-Drug Complexes - the twenty-first consecutivesummer of research opportunities is being made available for undergraduates who wish an excitinglaboratory experience.http://www.mii.vt.edu/SURP/index.htmlDeadline: February, 1,2010Wayne State UniversityThe SSIM sponsored REU - Research Experiences for Undergraduates - program integratesongoing research efforts in our Smart Sensors and Integrated Microsystem (SSIM) Programinto a cooperative traineeship program for undergraduate students. This program builds uponexisting sensor-related projects to develop a concerted thrust in the area of sensor integrationwith VLSI circuitry, a growing research strength at Wayne State University. Active programsin wide-bandgap semiconductor materials, graded pyroelectrics, photonic systems, thin-filmmagnetic devices, organic film devices, and integrated (intelligent) technology will form thecore research here at SSIM.http://www .ssim.eng;.wayne.eduDeadline: Visit website for more information.Whitaker International Fellows and Scholars ProgramThe Whitaker International Program is a grant that sends emerging leaders in biomedicalengineering (or bioengineering) overseas to increase international collaboration in the field. TheWhitaker Program was funded by The Whitaker Foundation (now closed), and is administered bythe Institute of International Education. Funding for awards will exist until around 2020.Whitaker International Program grants are awarded based on an activitylproject proposal that isrelevant to biomedical engineering. We can offer about 30-45 grants annually, but only thehighestquality applicants are awarded. In the last three competition cycles, 15, 12, and 20 grants havebeen awarded. This year, we are looking for at least 100 qualified applications this year, so allhighquality students are encouraged to apply.Recent awards have included research in heart blood flow, improved prosthetic leg design, anddevelopment of affordable oral cancer screening tools. Projects occur worldwide, including farflungcountries like the United Kingdom, Denmark, India, and South Africa.httv://www.whitaker.org/homeDeadline: January 25,2010Worcester Polytechnic InstituteFaculty members from Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Chemistry &Biochemistry have created a diverse array of projects for students to choose from. Eachstudent conducts research in the laboratory with the faculty mentor on a project specificallydesigned for his or her abilities and also participates in professional development activities.A novel component of this REU is that each undergraduate will receive training in mentoring,and will become a mentor to a middle-school student.ht~://www.w~i.eddAcademics/Depts/BME/Research/reu.htmlDeadline: UnspecifiedBiology, Biotechnology, and Pre-Medical Engineering Internships
