NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduates 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.
The mission of the REU Finder is to expose undergraduates to resources and research opportunities so that all students can easily access and participate in paid research! Access the REU Finder here: https://reufinder.com/ . The REU Finder will allow you to 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 participants. A contact person and contact information is listed on their webpages.

Water Purification: The Wave of the Future
Competition Opens: Thursday, October 1, 2020
Deadline: On or before 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday, November 30
Water purification is a leading technological advancement in first world countries that is out of reach in many developing countries. UNICEF and WHO report that one in three people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water. Although the United States has one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world, it is an ongoing challenge to protect it.
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is hosting a research-based challenge for undergraduate students! The challenge is for students to develop an infographic to communicate the current leading ways to purify drinking water. Thorough submissions will include research on new developments in water purification, as well as research on providing these methods to developing countries. Your infographic could win you a $5,000 scholarship! The deadline for this competition is Monday, November 30, 2020, and winners will be announced late-December.
Prizes:
1st place: $5,000 scholarship
2nd place: $3,000 scholarship
3rd place: $1,000 scholarship
The Problem:
Diseases transmitted through contaminated water are rampant throughout the world. According to the World Health Organization, more than one billion people have unsafe water globally. Unsafe water can carry diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, giardia, E. coli, hepatitis A, and many more. The United States has one of the safest drinking water supplies in the world, though it still has to be purified and protected in order to prevent rampant diseases.
Your Task:
Develop an infographic to communicate to the public the current leading ways to purify water. Thorough submissions will include recent scientific and technological research and developments in water purification, as well as research on providing these methods of water purification to developing countries. You must provide supporting evidence, using footnotes for citations on the infographic, and have a supporting document with additional information.
Details:
How to Enter:
To enter the contest, complete the form at https://orausurvey.orau.org/n/2020FallUndergrad.aspx and attach your infographic and supporting document files. The deadline to submit is 8:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, November 30, 2020.
