Are you curious about getting involved in research or creative work next summer? Opportunities like the National Science Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REUs) and many others across the country provide paid summer research experiences in all disciplines—from engineering and the sciences to the arts and humanities.

If you’d like to learn how to find, apply for, and prepare a strong application for these opportunities, please fill out this short interest form.

Students who complete the form will be invited to an information session during ODU’s Activity Hour, where we’ll walk through examples of summer programs, application strategies, and ways ODU can help you strengthen your application.

Don’t miss your chance to make summer 2026 a transformative experience of discovery and creativity!
