Research Technician Fellowship

The Research Technician Fellowship is for high school and undergraduate students interested in experiencing scientific research and engaging in tree science. Create a work schedule with your mentor, develop a mentorship contract, get paid, and participate in ongoing research in a scientific lab. Be mentored by PhD-level scientists and see what it’s like to join a lab. Laboratory, computer, and field opportunities are available. Learn more on the Research Technician Fellowship page.

NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is a paid 10-week summer program for enrolled undergraduate students. Gain direct experience in all aspects of a research project from researching the primary literature to sampling design, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting at a final symposium. Develop skills in critical thinking, independence, and collaboration. Learn more and apply on the Research Experiences for Undergraduates page.

Research Experience Extension Fellowship
