[UWAB] Paid Research Internships

[Elizabeth English Collums]

SUMMER 2009 PAID RESEARCH
INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS
via CRA-W/CDC DREU
(DREU was known as the DMP from 1994-2008)

>> Application Deadline February 15, 2009
>>
>> The CRA-W/CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates
>> (DREU) Program matches promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor
>> for a summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution.
>> The objective of the DREU is to increase the number of women and
>> students from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in
>> the fields of computer science and engineering.  The DREU experience
>> is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school,
>> providing them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really
>> like and also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for
>> graduate admissions and fellowships.
>>
>> Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks),
>> plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate.  Additional funds
>> may be available to support student conference travel, either during
>> the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DREU.
>>
>> An on-line Application for students and faculty mentors, more
>> information about DREU, and webpages authored by previous
>> participants are available at:
>>    http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/
>> Application Deadline February 15, 2009 Awards Announced: mid-March
>> 2009
>>
>> Notes for faculty mentors regarding the DREU Program:
>>
>> * Cost sharing by faculty mentors is encouraged. The number of
>> students interested in the DREU program has increased substantially
>> over the last several years. To enable more students to participate,
>> faculty are now encouraged to provide funds to support (partially or
>> fully) students; the DREU will provide travel support for all students.
>>
>> * All interested faculty are eligible to be DREU mentors. All
>> interested faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors. Nonetheless,
>> based on the documented benefits of role models with similar gender
>> or from similar demographic groups, it is anticipated that DREU funds
>> will mostly be used to support students matched with mentors from
>> groups underrepresented in computing. Hence, other mentors applying
>> should attempt to provide full funding for their students' stipends
>> (the program will provide travel support).

>> The Computing Research Association (CRA, http://cra.org<http://cra.org/>) is an
>> association of more than 180 North American academic departments of
>> computer science and computer engineering; laboratories and centers
>> in industry, government, and academia engaging in basic computing
>> research; and affiliated professional societies.
>>
>> The Coalition to Diversity Computing (CDC,
>> http://www.cdc-computing.org/) is a joint organization of the ACM, CRA, and IEEE-CS.
>>
>> DREU is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation
>> with additional support from AAAI, the Luce Foundation, and USENIX.
