This program will be running in the summers, until
2004, with spots for approximately 10 students.
It is funded through the National Science Foundation, and the VIGRE grant.
Contact:
Michael Lacey, Grant Administrator.
--- Time period: 8 weeks, with approximately 30 hours
of work/week, depending on the project. The time period of most projects
will be the long summer session. Enrollment in two or more courses
in summer school is not permitted. At the end of the period, you
should provide a report on what you were able to do.
--- Stipend of $3500 plus $1200 living allowance. There
will be 10 such positions each summer, from 2002 to 2006.
--- Eligibility. All undergraduates, Georgia Tech or not, who are
US citizens or permenent residents are eligible. If you don't meet these
criteria, there are other means of being funded. These include other
possible grants from the NSF, which the supervising professor would arrange,
or funds from Georgia Tech. Funding levels will differ. One of these
other funding opportunities comes through the Federal Work Study Program;
if you are eligible follow the link.
Some details are here.
--- Criteria: First and foremost, the VIGRE grant is
to promote the study of Mathematics, from undergraduate to postdoctoral
levels.
With that in mind, Math Majors are the first in line to be funded.
Among these, rising Juniors and Seniors have some preference, but
also the possibility of success in the project is important. Students
who are not math majors, but are to pursue mathematical research are also
welcome to apply.
--- What do you have to do? Arrange with a professor to
supervise a topic for research and apply for funding.
This web page will serve as a clearing house for professors who have
agreed to supervise REUs, so check back for
additional information in the next few weeks.
--- Which Professors have agreed to supervise undergraduate research?
Professors who know you are good choices to ask, even if
they don't appear on this list . If you have
a well-defined choice of research topic, and there is a faculty member who
does research in that area, ask that person. Professors in other units can and have directed REU programs for GT students.
--- Can a group of students apply on a single topic? Absolutely. The three students who worked together in the ACE lab in the Summer of 2002 were able to produce a paper.
---And what is an application? It is an
email to the Undergraduate Advisor, containing complete information
on the REU. Namely
Your Name (or names, if there is a group of students)
Project Title
Supervising Professor
Project Description. (A single paragraph will do.)
And it is good form to cc the message to the Professor and anyone else
directly connected to the proposed project.
--- Deadline. March 26, 2004. (But funding decisions
will be made until the money is used up.)
