opportunity at Georgia State University is funded by the National Science Foundation. Working with faculty mentors, 10 selected undergraduates will engage in community-based research and fieldwork to quantitatively and qualitatively examine neighborhood change,
property markets, air and soil quality, urban green spaces, and neighborhood visioning in partnership with neighborhood residents and community groups. The program runs June 18th – August 2nd and each REU student will receive a competitive funding package. Applications
are due Friday, March 23rd @ 5 PM EST. See <a href="http://csaw.gsu.edu/nsf-reu/">http://csaw.gsu.edu/nsf-reu/</a> for more information. This program is a great example of how community based research can get serious funding, and we encourage anyone interested
to learn more about it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
