DIMACS, with National Science Foundation sponsorship, has offered an REU program since 1992. The DIMACS REU program includes many associated subprograms. These include:
- The DIMACS REU NSF-site program (funded by NSF) offers projects focused on Computer Science.
- The DIMACS/DIMATIA REU collaboration offers an opportunity for students to interact with representatives from our sister site DIMATIA at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. Three to five DIMACS students are selected to spend the final two weeks of the program at DIMATIA in Prague. Students selected to participate in this program generally exhibit strong interests in combinatorics.
- The EU-funded H2020-MSCA-RISE project CoSP- GA No. 823748 supports a number of Czech students from DIMATIA who spend the summer at DIMACS conducting research
- The Rutgers Math Department program offers projects mentored by members of the Rutgers Mathematics Department.
- The DATA-INSPIRE TRIPODS Institute supports research projects on intelligent, interactive machines based on data science, under the mentorship of CS, Math, and Statistics faculty.
- The Rutgers IC CAE Research Fellows program (Intelligence Community Centers for Academic Excellence, DIA) supports five undergraduate students to conduct research on the field of critical technology studies as it relates to intelligence and national security.
- The Barnard Computer Science - Summer Research program, which is supported by a gift from Craig Newmark Philanthropies and the Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM funded by the Henry Luce Foundation.
We've consolidated the organization of the programs to create a larger interactive group experience for the participants and so that the programs may share a single coordinator. The source of funds to support the students and some of the departmental staff are separate for the NSF-site, the Math Department, the TRIPODS, and the IC-CAE programs.
The DIMACS REU program is currently supported by the National Science Foundation (grant CNS-2150186).
Previous support has included funds from:
- The National Science Foundation, CCF-1852215, CCF-1559855, CCF-1263082, CCF-1004956, CCF-0648985, CNS-0138973, and OISE-9817956.
- The NSF-funded activity NREUP of the Mathematical Association of America, grants DMS-1359016, DMS-1156582, H98230-13-1-0270, and DMS-1652506.
