We are happy to inform you about our National Sciences Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) that may be of interest to your audience (see flyer attached). The REU in Molecular Aspects of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the UPR (UPR-MAPS) will fund eight (8) undergraduate students for a 9-week summer research experience. Recruiting will be focused on underrepresented and first-generation college students with limited opportunities for STEM research experiences. UPR-MAPS participants will engage in collaborative STEM research that defines the interdisciplinary pharmaceutical sciences (non-clinical), with a focus on organic, analytical, solid-state, and (bio)chemistry, molecular biology, materials science, and chemical engineering. The UPR-MAPS program is also enriched with a variety of skill-building activities designed to develop the participant’s professional abilities related to research project development, raising the awareness of societal and ethical responsibilities, and communication with a focus on preparing students to succeed in a STEM career. To facilitate vital collegial STEM relationships, social activities are co-organized with partner REU sites in Puerto Rico allowing UPR-MAPS participants to experience a multiethnic setting with the chance to learn English and Spanish while being immersed in stunning tropical sceneries and the diverse bilingual Puerto Rican culture. Please visit the UPR-MAPS website for more information. Applications are now open. 

Participant benefits:

  • $5,400 stipend
  • Free housing
  • $500 travel reimbursement to program site
  • Weekly workshops and seminars
