Hands-on summer research for undergraduates. The 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; and
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.

Get complete details here.

Applications will be open to students who are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents who are enrolled in an undergraduate degree program.

Because the projects vary in scope, we are looking for a variety of majors including civil engineering, computer science, and architecture, to name a few.

If you are interested in solving engineering problems dealing with natural hazards or understanding natural hazards' impact on society, this undergraduate research program is for you!
