Research experiences for undergraduate faculty
July 27, 2026 – July 31, 2026
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, equips faculty to involve their students in areas of active research.
The workshop is one in a series of annual REUF workshops that brings together faculty at undergraduate institutions who are interested in engaging in research with their students. The workshop is also a research renewal opportunity for faculty who want to reengage in research or are considering a change of research area.
The goals of the workshop are to promote undergraduate research in undergraduate institutions, and to forge lasting research collaborations among the participating faculty. The majority of the workshop will be spent working in small research groups on problems, reporting on progress, and formulating plans for future work. In addition, there will be opportunities for participants to continue research activities beyond the workshop week.
Accepted participants will receive support for travel, accommodation, and per diem. Preference will be given to faculty who teach and advise substantial numbers of minority students, students with disabilities, or first generation college students.
This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.
