The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department or may offer interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. (2) REU Supplements may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects.

The USFWS is seeking proposals on behalf of the Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative, WALCC. The Mission of the WALCC is to promote coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial marine linkages, in the face of landscape scale stressors, focusing on climate change. The project has three deliverables. You can bid on Deliverables 1 and 2, or on all three. We are not accepting proposals for Deliverable 3, alone, at this time. Deliverable 1 A searchable geo.spatial database for hosting project metadata and some data metadata or attributes, and allowing one to assess when, where and how stream and lake water temperatures have been monitored across the state of Alaska and who to contact to access the resulting temperature records. Deliverable 2 A thorough compilation of project metadata from a mutually agreed upon set of parties which have, or are continuing to, monitor stream and lake water temperatures in Alaska, especially federal and state agencies, university research groups and researchers and NGOs. Deliverable 3 An online interface to the geo.spatial database, Deliverable 1, that supports data entry, editing, error checking, public query, and reporting of project metadata in tabular and graphic format.
