The Harvard Asia Initiative at Harvard

It provides funding for "across all disciplines for research or field work in South Asia". Link Deadline: Friday,February 18th

David Rockefeller International Experience Grants Program

Applicants should be currently enrolled Harvard College students in good standing at the College at the time of application and participation; applicants may not have received a David Rockefeller International Experience Grant in the past; applicants must return to campus for at least one semester following their experience abroad. Student projects/programs must take place in the summer and must be at least eight consecutive weeks in duration and require a full-time commitment from the student to the project for the duration of the project/program; students may apply for independent projects or any Harvard or Harvard-approved international programs that meet the Committee's requirements for significant international experience. Link Deadline for Summer 2011, Friday, February 18th

Office of the Provost

The Provost Fund for Student Collaboration provides a funding opportunity for "students from all corners and disciplines of the university can come together and participate in academic collaborations" (such as a conference, a speaker series, or other similar activities). To be eligible, the working group must consist of representatives of recognized student organizations from at least three different schools and include at least 10 students). Grants of up to ,000 are available for each group selected. Funding is available to cover expenses such as (a) meeting costs for the group (meals, refreshments, etc.), (b) travel costs for outside speakers or experts visiting the group or (c) costs related to a conference.

Fellowship Database

The Office of Career Services at Harvard has a searchable database with opportunities for summer and term-time study and research both for undergraduates and graduate students.

REU outside of Harvard

The National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location. By using the web page, Search for an REU Site, you may examine opportunities in the subject areas supported by various NSF units. Also, you may search by keywords to identify sites in particular research areas or with certain features, such as a particular location. Students must contact the individual sites for information and application materials. NSF does not have application materials and does not select student participants. A contact person and contact information is listed for each site.

Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) 2010

The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) runs a unique summer program for undergraduate students. The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) provides an opportunity for exceptional students in math and related disciplines to work in teams on real world research projects proposed by a sponsor from industry or a national lab. Sponsors have included Pixar, Microsoft, Symantec, Los Alamos, the Aerospace Corporation, Amgen, Arete, IBM, Standard and Poor's, Jet Propulsion Lab, and many others. The RIPS web site at RIPS web site gives the full details including a link to the online application.

Murf and Amgen scholars program (Caltech) 2010

The MURF program aims to increase the participation of underrepresented students (such as African American, Hispanic, and Native American, females who are underrepresented in their discipline, and first-generation college students) in science and engineering Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs and to make Caltech's programs more visible to students not traditionally exposed to Caltech. For more information, please visit the website. For questions, contact Carol Casey at casey.edu or (626) 395-2887.

SRC light source

The SRC light source is funded by the National Science Foundation and uses an electron storage ring to provide synchrotron light as a tool for doing scientific research. We are located southeast of Madison, Wisconsin. Our Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program runs for 10 weeks from May 31 through August 6, 2011. Participants will work with a mentor, graduate students and SRC scientists in the completion of a research project. The experience culminates with, among other things, participation in a poster session and a presentation at a research symposium. Participants receive a generous stipend in addition to paid travel to and from Madison, housing, health insurance (if needed), transportation to SRC, and a partial meal allowance. Participants are housed on the UW-Madison campus and interact with other summer program students of various disciplines creating a community of research scholars. Participants and projects from previous years can be seen online at: this page. For more information including eligibility requirements, abstracts of previous projects, and a flyer about the program, visit our website. The deadline for applying to the program is February 15, 2011.
