ECU BME-SIM Research Experience for Undergraduates

Applications are open for the NSF-funded  REU site on Biomedical Engineering in Simulations, Imaging, and Modeling (BME-SIM) here at ECU.  

The summer program will take place from May 13^th – July 22^nd on-campus.  Program participants will receive a $6,000 stipend, on-campus housing, meal plan, travel to the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) annual meeting, and reimbursement of travel funds (dependent on need). Rising juniors and seniors, students from underrepresented groups, veterans, and students from academic institutions with limited research opportunities are encouraged to apply.  Applications from community college students who are transitioning to four-year institutions or within a semester from transferring are also encouraged.  Qualifications include US Citizen or permanent resident, major in engineering, basic sciences, math, computer science or related disciplines, and strong academic record. 

We are currently accepting applications. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting mid-February until all positions are filled.
