SUMMER 2013
PAID SUMMER RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS
via CRA-W/CDC DREU
(DREU was known as the DMP from 1994-2008)

Application Deadline February 15, 2013

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 $6000 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.

An on-line Application for students and faculty mentors, more
information about DREU, and webpages authored by previous participants
are available at:
http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/
Application Deadline: February 15, 2013
Awards Announced: mid-March 2013

Notes for faculty mentors regarding the DREU Program:

* Cost sharing by faculty mentors is encouraged. The number of students
interested in the DREU program has increased substantially over the last
several years. To enable more students to participate, faculty are now
encouraged to provide funds to support (partially or fully) students;
the DREU will provide travel support for all students.

* All interested faculty are eligible to be DREU mentors. All interested
faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors. Nonetheless, based on the
documented benefits of role models with similar gender or from similar
demographic groups, it is anticipated that DREU funds will mostly be
used to support students matched with mentors from groups
underrepresented in computing. Hence, other mentors applying should
attempt to provide full funding for their students' stipends (the
program will provide travel support).

For more information about the DREU, consult the DREU webpages
http://parasol.tamu.edu/dreu/
or contact the DREU Co-Directors at dreu@cse.tamu.edu
