The American Statistical Association has received $380,000 of NSF funding to support Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites. At each site, student teams will work with complex data sets from varied scientific and engineering disciplines in which statistics plays a key role for data analysis. This is the announcement for the inaugural summer of this ASA initiative. We are searching for colleagues who are interested in hosting such an REU Site this summer. We will have 3 such sites during summer 2016.
Each site proposal should describe projects for four students, and the students should be mostly chosen from other institutions (rather than from the investigator's own institution). Recruitment should target women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. Supported students must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents.
Many more details are available in the attached pdf document. Applications for such an REU Site are due by February 19, 2016. For questions, please write to: REU@amstat.org
