PROGRAM DESCRIPTION	This is a 9 week summer program in solid state chemistry research for undergraduates, under the direction of a recognized authority in the field. The program starts with tutorial sessions at the University of Oregon (6/18–6/22). (View the 2009 tutorial agenda.) Participants spend the next 8 weeks working in their host lab on a research project in solid state chemistry (lab and project descriptions). The program ends with a final project symposium at Oregon State University (8/15–8/18). (View 2009 symposium schedule)
ELIGIBILITY	College undergraduate students of domestic institutions, who are US citizens or permanent residents, are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to undergraduate students who are rising seniors. Special consideration will be given to individuals from institutions where an advanced research program in solid state chemistry is unavailable.
