PAID SUMMER RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS
                         via CRA-W/CDC DREU
          (DREU was known as the DMP from 1994-2008)

Application Deadline: 	March 1, 2016
Awards Announced:     March 2016

The CRA-W/CDC Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU)
Program matches promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a
summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution.
The objective of the DREU is to increase the number of women and
students from underrepresented groups, including ethnic minorities
and persons with disabilities, entering graduate studies in the fields
of computer science and engineering.  The DREU experience is invaluable
for students who are considering graduate school, providing them with a
close-up view of what graduate school is really like and also increasing
their competitiveness as an applicant for graduate admissions and
fellowships.

Funding for the student consists of $7000 for the summer (10 weeks),
plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate.  Additional funds
may be available to support student conference travel, either during
the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DREU.
