[UWAB] CREU and MRO-W programs - Application Deadline:May 9, 2008
by Richhart, Alicia Ann 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

****************************************************** 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.
