Research Experience and Apprenticeship Program (REAP)

REAP is an apprenticeship experience designed for highly motivated, first-year students in the Honors Program. The REAP experience will provide a fast-track for talented students, enabling them to explore topics of interest, prepare for advanced work in their field, and develop a close academic and professional relationship with a faculty member.

REAP is sponsored by the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research and the University Honors Program. To be eligible, students must first be nominated for REAP by instructors of their Honors courses. Instructors should submit a REAP Nomination Form to the Hamel Center no later than March 26, 2012.

REAP students spend 10 weeks during the summer working with a faculty mentor. They explore topics of interest, develop a foundation of knowledge in their field of study, and learn more about the approaches, theories, methodologies, and techniques employed by faculty in their own work. See the REAP Application Guidelines for a list of possible project activities.

Students accepted into the REAP program are awarded a $3,500 fellowship for 10 weeks of full-time summer work, and up to $600 for expenses associated with the project.

Application Deadline

April 2, 2012 for summer 2012

Applications must be submitted to the Hamel Center office (Hood House 209) no later than 4:30 p.m. on the deadline date above.

Note:  Students planning to apply for REAP must meet with the Hamel Center director, Paul Tsang (paul.tsang@unh.edu), before preparing their application―no later than March 2, 2012.  Applications submitted by students who have not met with Dr. Tsang will not be accepted.

If the nominating instructor will not be the REAP project mentor, the student should complete the Student Resume form and bring it to the Hamel Center for assistance in identifying a faculty mentor.
