Fourteen undergraduates will participate in a summer research program June 3-August 12, 2014. The NEWRnet team developed an online application system, and designed a recruitment postcard that was mailed to all NEWRnet partner institutions in Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware, as well as to Alabama A&M, Florida A&M, Texas A&M, Tuskegee University, University of Puerto Rico, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. At the time of this writing, the application period has ended, and review and selection is underway.
