The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) REU is a large and highly successful summer program conducted across fourteen participating sites, some of the leading nanotechnology university laboratories in the United States. NNIN is in their 16th year of this REU program, and over hte years, have had over 900 participants. NNIN consistently receives high marks from student interns for providing a quality research experience. Similarly, the faculty consistently rate the performance of the students very highly. Participants undertake a challenging nanotechnology project, working with NNIN faculty and staff, and using the advanced equipment and process resources of NNIN.
NNIN is most suitable for students who have completed their sophomore or junior year in science or engineering, and who are interested in a science or engineering career. Applications from women and minority students, as well as those from smaller non-research institutions, and students with limited research experience, are encouraged.
