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.
