Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates
The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W), in conjunction with the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC), is pleased to announce two programs that involve undergraduate student research. The goal of these initiatives is to increase the numbers of women and minorities who continue on to graduate school in computer science and engineering.
The Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) program is designed to provide positive research experiences for teams of undergraduates who will work during the academic year at their home institutions. CREU is designed to encourage young computer scientists and engineers from all under represented groups to consider graduate school.
The Multidisciplinary Research Opportunities for Women (MRO-W) program is designed to provide positive multidisciplinary research experiences for teams of undergraduates from at least two academic disciplines at their home institutions. MRO-W students work collaboratively on a multidisciplinary project during the academic year and during the following summer.
Students will work with one or two sponsoring faculty members on a project for which monetary support is typically not available. Students will each receive a stipend of $3,000 for their work during the academic year and $4000 for their MRO-W summer work. CREU may also receive $500 and MRO-W may receive $1500 to be used for associated special equipment, travel, or supporting materials.
Teams consisting of all women or all under represented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. In order to support the exchange of shared common experiences, individual teams should be homogeneous with respect to minority status or gender.
See the websites for specific information about Basic Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria. You may also see the reports from previous years for examples of funded CREU and MRO-W projects.

Research Conference Travel Funds For Graduate Students
Through its Research Conference Travel Fund,the CST Dean’s Office is able to provide support for graduate students to present their research at a regional, national, or international conferences.
ACM-Women in Computing Scholarships for Attendance at Research Conferences
ACM-W is pleased to announce a new program that will provide support for women students in Computer Science and related programs (at the undergraduate or graduate levels) who wish to attend research conferences. Exposure to the CS research world can be an important factor in encouraging a student to continue on to the next level (undergraduate to graduate, Masters to Ph.D., Ph.D. to an industry or academic position). ... more ...

NSF: Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects designed especially for the purpose.
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.
