External Summer Research Programs

Program Description

CURF is currently working on expanding its presence outside of Kean University. As Kean has been recognized as an urban research university in New Jersey, our objective is to expand our network in the state of NJ. Through external partnerships, faculty and students from Kean University can gain new collaborations, shared knowledge, and join in research opportunities far beyond Union County. Especially for underrepresented students, having the opportunity afforded to them to join a prestigious research institute, hospital, or company for a semester-long program can open doors to future careers and connections within a particular field.The Summer Research Program will be an intensive, full-time research experience for Kean students. Students will be matched with faculty mentors from a diverse array of academic disciplines. Participants will learn about the process of research by working with their mentors in the laboratory and by participating in workshops, seminars, trips to local research laboratories in industry and medicine, and social events.

Below are some external summer research programs that the students can apply to:

  • Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU): The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds REU sites at Universities and Research Institutions across the United States. There programs provide undergraduate students with hands-on research experiences in fields such as science, engineering, mathematics and social sciences.

  • Amgen Scholars Program: This program offers research opportunities in the fields of Biotechnology and life sciences from any nationality who are enrolled in undergraduate programs.

  • Leadership Alliance Summer Research- Early Identification Program – This program aims to support underrepresented students in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and STEM. It provides research experiences at various institutions across United States.

  • DAAD RISE Germany: This program offers summer research internships in Germany for undergraduate students in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, engineering, and related disciplines.

  • NASA Internships and Fellowships: NASA offers internships and fellowships during the summer and year-round for undergraduate and graduate students interested in aerospace research, engineering and related fields.

  • Research Opportunities in Europe for Researchers (RORE): RORE provides summer research internships for undergraduate students interested in science, engineering and technology. It offers placements at leading research institutions across Europe

  • Institute for Pure Applied Mathematics (IPAM) – Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS): This program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work on research projects in collaboration with industry partners. It focuses on applied mathematics and computations science.
