May 22, 2007 - TTVN REU Seminar for TAMU System Faculty
Video of Presentation - Note: in the Q&A period the speaker said that only educational institutions are eligible to apply for an REU Site; this is incorrect. Any institution that's eligible to apply to NSF according to the Grant Proposal Guide can apply for an REU Site.
NSF REU page - The 2007 REU Solicitation has been released! REU Site proposals are due Sept. 13, 2007. (The main change for REU Sites is that the ecommended student stipend has been increased to $450/week.)
