Experiences for Undergraduates) programs this summer. Both Centers seek qualified undergraduates for 2013 REU fellowships. Stipends are $4,000 for ten-week projects. They will be awarded on a competitive basis based on academic excellence, motivation, scientific
potential, compatibility of personal interests, and long-term career goals aligned with research programs of the CCSB and Conte Center. Applicants with computational science backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply. All participants must be U.S. citizens
(or permanent residents) and enrolled in (but not yet graduated from) an accredited undergraduate college degree program with a concentration in a biological science field. </span><span class="x_Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px; font-family:Helvetica,Verdana,Arial">Please

If selected, students will be matched with a research mentor. During the program participants will be invited to lab meetings and seminars. In addition, they will have access to libraries, athletic facilities, and University-sponsored events. At the conclusion
of summer projects, students will produce a summary report and present their findings at a REU Symposium in the Gordon Center for Integrative Science at the University of Chicago.<br>
<br>
The deadline for receipt of REU application materials (see attached pdf files) is February 18, 2013. Students can apply to one or both programs. </span></font></font></div>
