Databases for Undergraduate Research

Pathways to Science for Undergrads is a database hosted by the Institute for Broadening Participation, whose mission is to expand the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. Their advanced search tool allows users to filter information by a wide range of criteria, including level of study, discipline, short and long-term opportunities, geographic location,  program start and end dates, and much more. 

ORISE. Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education’s (ORISE) searchable database for Opportunities for Academic Fellowships and Scholarships, Research Experiences, Sabbaticals, and Internships.

NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. 

IIE Passport.  Database of language and study abroad programs run by IIE.

H-NET.  Offers a list of funding opportunities in the humanities, as well news announcements and upcoming events.
