Description:
The NSF NHERI REU Summer Program provides research opportunities at the ten NHERI multi-hazard engineering and interdisciplinary research sites during a 10-week summer research program. The NHERI REU program is dedicated to helping undergraduate college students experience multi-hazard engineering as well as reconnaissance, cyberinfrastructure, data management, simulation, and social science research. Hands-on, research-based projects introduce participants to a network of researchers, and students who work toward mitigating natural hazards and understanding the impact of natural hazards on society. U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are enrolled undergraduate students may apply for the summer program.

REU participants receive: Travel funds to and from the research facility, housing subsidy to help with living expenses, research stipend ($6000) for summer work., research and career experience alongside faculty mentors, travel funds to and from the NHERI REU site to present a research project and a chance to network with engineering researchers, social scientists, and natural hazards experts.

The program includes ten universities with different academic schedules. For this reason, two 10-week program blocks are used. The NHERI REU Summer Program Block I includes Florida International University, Lehigh University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Florida, and the University of Texas, Austin. Block II includes Oregon State University, the University of California, Davis, the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Washington.

The NHERI REU Summer Program is a hybrid program hosted by the NHERI site and NHERI ECO. A typical forty-hour week in the program includes graduate school and professional development workshops, research group meetings, networking, mentor evaluations, timesheets, reflections, research, and research writing.

Each of the Experimental Facilities within NHERI plus the RAPID Reconnaissance Center, the Simulation Center, and Cyberinfrastructure teams will participate in the NHERI REU program.
