<p class="MsoNormal">The University of Louisiana at Lafayette seeks highly motivated undergraduate students to participate in an authentic research experience with the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Healthy Streams, Healthy Coasts Research Experiences
for Undergraduates (REU) site. Students accepted to this competitive program will have the opportunity to spend 8 weeks in the heart of Cajun Country in Lafayette, Louisiana, working with leading researchers in interdisciplinary fields related to coastal and
watershed science. REU investigations will fundamentally expand our understanding of watershed and estuarine resources and processes in an urban- and agriculturally-influenced watershed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Healthy Streams, Healthy Coasts REU program is committed to enhancing the diversity of scientific communities and sharing our science with broader audiences. As such, we are seeking students from diverse backgrounds from Universities
nation-wide. Students from underrepresented groups, first generation students, and students without undergraduate research opportunities at their home universities or colleges are highly encouraged to apply.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to funding restrictions, participants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or its possessions. Students must also be enrolled in a degree-seeking program and must NOT have graduated prior to the start of the REU program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applications are due via the Common Application by 3 Feb. For more info on who to work with and how to apply, visit
