'Undergraduate Research'
You’ve invented something that has a good chance of impacting the world. We have a 21 year history of honoring inventions like yours through the Collegiate Inventors Competition program. So why not see if your idea is up to the challenge.
If your invention is chosen among the best, we will bring you to the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington to present your idea to a panel of some of the most important and influential inventors and invention experts in the nation. Last year’s judging panels included National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees Jim West, Don Keck, Ted Hoff, Morton Mower, Al Langer, and Tom Fogarty.
You’ll also meet other top young inventors from around the country, have your idea showcased on a national stage, and compete for over $100,000 in prizes including a $15,000 top prize for Graduate students and $12,500 for Undergraduate students. Your advisor wins a cash prize too.

Campus to Careers
Real world experience and career paths in the environment
NCSE’s Campus to Careers (C2C) Program is dedicated
to fostering and guiding environmentally motivated students in their
transition to professional careers and beyond into leadership roles in
the government, non-profit and private sectors.
C2C provides meaningful, paid internships, fellowships and other
short-term positions to expose college students and recent graduates to
real world experience as well as mentoring and career networking
opportunities in the environment and energy fields.

| The Summer@ICERM program is designed for a select group of 10-12 undergraduate scholars. Students will work in small groups of two or three, supervised by a faculty advisor and aided by a teaching assistant. The faculty advisors will describe a variety of enticing open questions in geometry and in dynamical systems of geometric origin.
Topics discussed will include Euclidean, hyperbolic and projective geometry, iteration of geometric constructions, and mathematical billiards. A variety of activities around these research themes will allow participants to engage in collaborative research, communicate and examine their findings in formal and informal settings, and report-out their findings with a finished product.
The Application Process
The Summer@ICERM program is open to all students who will be active undergraduates during summer, 2012. Applications are now open at Mathprograms.org. Please search under “Brown University” or click on the following Summer@ICERM application link: http://www.mathprograms.org/db/ICERM
*Brown University UTRA students must also complete a Brown UTRA application form, indicating interest in the Summer@ICERM program. Accepted Brown University UTRA students receive only a $3,000 stipend.
All application materials are due by February 10, 2012.
SUMMER@ICERM
Funding Includes:
– $3,000 stipend
– Travel Expenses
– Dormitory housing
– Meal plan
Organizers
(Pennsylvania State University)
(City College of New York)
Topics for Research Projects
In this research program, we will stress open questions which are expected to be accessible via mathematical methods available to undergraduates. Problems have been selected in each of three categories.
– Billiards and related systems
– Geometry
– Algebraic Geometry
ICERM’s Mission
The mission of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) is to support and broaden the relationship between mathematics and computation: specifically, to expand the use of computational and experimental methods in mathematics, to support theoretical advances related to computation, and address problems posed by the existence and use of the computer through mathematical tools, research
and innovation.

Open Date: 08/22/2011 – Close Date: 12/12/2011
Summary: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) Fellowships program, is offering Greater Research Opportunities (GRO) undergraduate fellowships for bachelor level students in environmental fields of study. The deadline for receipt of applications is December 12, 2011 4:00 PM ET for receipt of paper applications, and December 12, 2011, at 11:59:59 PM ET for submittal of electronic applications to Grants.gov. Subject to availability of funding, and other applicable considerations, the Agency plans to award approximately 40 new fellowships by July 30, 2012. Eligible students will receive support for their junior and senior years of undergraduate study and for an internship at an EPA facility during the summer of their junior year. The fellowship provides up to $19,700 per academic year of support and $9,500 of support for a three-month summer internship.
