Summer CI + UR

Summer CI + UR

The Summer CI + UR Program offers Clemson undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in research for 10 weeks over the summer under the guidance of a faculty mentor. To apply for this competitive award, students must be nominated by CI mentors and then are asked to complete an application. Student recipients of the Summer CI + UR award receive a stipend for their summer work. Applications are due March 1.

  • Program Information
    • This is a 10-week program (May 20 – July 26, 2024). Students engage in research full-time (as determined by the mentor) during this time. Students will be paid commensurate with REU levels (this is considerably more than they were paid last summer). Logistics of pay and summer hours will be disseminated at a Summer CI Orientation TBD.
    • Students are required to:
      1. conduct mentored research;
      2. submit a refection on their experiences;
      3. prepare an abstract and presentation of their research results;
      4. present their summer research at the August 20, 2024 Summer Showcase.
    • Students are encouraged to participate in weekly lunch seminars and workshops.
  • Application Deadlines
    • Students must complete their applications by March 1.
    • Faculty mentors should nominate students well in advance of March 1, to give students time to complete the application by March 1.
