Building on the successful model of the Clinton Global Initiative, which brings together world leaders to take action on global challenges, President Clinton launched the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) in 2007 to engage the next generation of leaders on college campuses around the world.

Each year, CGI U hosts a meeting for students, national youth organizations, and university officials to discuss solutions to pressing global issues. The second CGI U Meeting was held at The University of Texas at Austin from February 13-15, 2009. Nearly one thousand students came together to make a difference in CGI U’s five focus areas: Education, Energy & Climate Change, Global Health, Peace & Human Rights, and Poverty Alleviation.

All students who wish to attend the CGI U Meeting must submit an application. Each application is thoroughly reviewed by the CGI U team. CGI U actively seeks a range of students who have a variety of experiences, interests, talents, and goals. Check back in the Fall of 2011 for information about applying to the 2012 CGI U Meeting.

The Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP), provides an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DoN) laboratory during the summer.

The goals of the NREIP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN.

NREIP provides competitive research internships to approximately 230 college students (175 undergraduate students and 55 graduate students) each year. Participating students typically spend ten weeks during the summer doing research at approximately 12 DoN laboratories. To participate, a student must be enrolled at an eligible college/university (comprising approximately 160 institutions; eligibility is determined by the Office of Naval Research) and have completed at least their sophomore year before beginning the internship.

The National Institutes of Health-University of Cambridge Health Science Scholars Program is a special interdisciplinary program committed to scholarship in the training of exceptional students in various areas of basic biomedical research or clinical research leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree awarded by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Being a collaborative program between the NIH laboratories and University of Cambridge, students carry out research at both institutions. Students will have the opportunity to be co-mentored by outstanding research investigators at NIH and at the University of Cambridge who work together on a collaborative project that can fall into any area of biomedical research. It is envisioned that students will spend roughly half of their time at Cambridge and half their time at NIH, though the specific division of time will be dictated by the research project. At present, there is no formal coursework required as part of the degree requirements from the University of Cambridge. The program is based on the British system in which students perform doctoral research without formal courses other than one's taken for their own interest. Students will be selected for the program based on academic excellence, sophistication of their scientific background, and a commitment to research. Eligible students will have already completed basic course work in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Laboratory research experience is valued. Once admitted, if students are deficient in background in a fundamental science area, arrangements will be made to allow them to take coursework to ensure that they have sufficient science background to take advantage of the research training. Courses and tutorials taught at both institutions are available for needed science courses. The University of Cambridge is one of the world's most prestigious universities and has been home to the research activities of numerous Nobel laureates and other acclaimed scientists in many areas of biomedical research. While at the University of Cambridge students will stay in one of the Cambridge Colleges and be immersed in Cambridge student community life. While at NIH, graduate students are immersed in a rich scientific environment in which more than 1200 investigators and 3600 postdoctoral fellows do basic, clinical, and translational research in unparalled facilities. The NIH is the world's premier biomedical research location. Students in the NIH-University of Cambridge program have a wide variety of fields for choice of a dissertation topic. Students awarded a National Institutes of Health-University of Cambridge Health Science Scholarship will receive support for a stipend, fees, and medical insurance during the course of their study. Up to six new students are brought into the program each year.

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 on interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in DoD-relevant research areas. (2) REU Supplements may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects or may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements.

Deadline for REU Site proposals: August 24, 2011.

Deadline for REU Site proposals to the Antarctic Program: June 3, 2011

Note that the June 6, 2007, deadline is covered by the previous REU program solicitation, NSF 05-592.

Deadline for REU Supplement requests: Varies with the research program. Contact the cognizant program officer for the award or proposal that would be supplemented.

Science, mathematics, and engineering (SME), are vital disciplines to our national defense. To increase the supply of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, the Department of Defense (DoD) established the Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART) Education Program. The purpose is to promote the education, recruitment and retention of outstanding undergraduate and graduate students in SME studies. The DoD will offer these scholarships and fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated ability and special aptitude for training and education in SME. The DoD is also interested in supporting the education of future scientists and engineers in a number of interdisciplinary areas. It will allow individuals to acquire an education in exchange for a period of employment with the Department of Defense in the areas specified.

The prevailing goal of the SMART program is to provide the United States with talented, trained American men and women who will lead state of the art research projects in disciplines having the greatest payoff to national defense requirements. The SMART Program is highly competitive and confers high honors upon its recipients. For additional information and application procedure, go to www.asee.org/smart
