Applications are being accepted for the summer 2019 Environmental Engineering Solutions for
Pollution Prevention REU at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB).
EESPP-REU students receive one-on-one mentoring in the conduct of environmental research,
focused training in environmental and professional ethics, GRE training, and exposure to a variety
of research methods. The program includes weekly group meetings to share research progress, and
culminates with a symposium where students present research findings in oral and poster formats.
Additional funding is available for REU participants to attend national conferences to present their
research results. To network with faculty and peers, students attend fieldtrips throughout western
New York, Niagara Falls, and the lower Great Lakes region.
REU participants receive a $5,250 stipend and free on-campus housing in a LEED-certified student
complex. Participation is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and students must be
enrolled as undergraduates in a college program through Fall 2019 (graduating seniors are
ineligible). Eligible students interested in environmental/civil/chemical engineering, environmental
science, biology, chemistry, geology, or geography are encouraged to submit an online application.
Application instructions, faculty mentors and projects, and more information can be found
at http://www.buffalo.edu/reu. Students from underrepresented groups or attending institutions
lacking research facilities or opportunities are especially encouraged to apply.
