- students who have experienced educational or economic disadvantage or other personal circumstances that may have impeded their transition to the next stage of training towards a science career
Description:
The REU Site Intersection of Linguistics, Language and Culture Program is
recruiting talented undergraduate students residing in the NY area from (but
not limited to) historically disadvantaged groups to partake in a part-time
year-long program to engage in research on language(s) and benefit from
workshops that will help them prepare for the next step in their educational
journey.
Through funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), 14 students will
be selected to engage in a 29-week research experience in
speech-language-communication-hearing sciences that will include:
- Establishing a community of scholars through the attendance of a
presentation on a topic related to your interest in
speech-language-communication and participating to the site blog;
- Conducting a research project with the help of a Research Mentor (see list
of mentors and their areas of specialization on page 2);
- Research Ethics training required to conduct research that involves the
participation of human subjects;
- Presentation of your research at a student conference;
- Participation in a maximum of 5 workshops per year to prepare a graduate
school application (that will cover topics such as how to prepare the GRE,
select a graduate program, compile a successful application package) that will
be scheduled at times convenient to all students;
- The organization of a conference in the summer that will enable you to share
your work with other NSF REU site participants and community partners.
To successfully complete the program, students will devote 6 to 8 hours a week
in the Fall and Spring semester and 15-18 hours a week in the summer to a
research project with one of the participating mentors and at one of the
research sites. REU Students are awarded a stipend of $6,500 a year for
participation in the program: $2,000 for 12 weeks in the Fall semester, $2,000
for 12 weeks in the Spring semester and $2,500 in the Summer (June and first
week of July) to compensate for their work.
