The Industry-University Cooperative Research Center for Building Reliable Advances and Innovations in Neurotechnologies (IUCRC BRAIN) at the Cullen College of Engineering at the University of Houston is excited to co-host a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program with the FDA in the summer of 2025. With a focus on regulatory science of medical devices and biomedical innovations, the objective of this engineering REU Site is to develop a diverse, inclusive, and socially responsible workforce of young scientists, engineers and design professionals equipped with knowledge and skills to address major gaps in the early-stage development of medical products. Through engaging learning opportunities and hands-on research experience, this program will pave the way for the next generation of scientific professionals to fulfil the healthcare needs of the U.S.
All candidates must meet applicable security requirements which include a background check, U..S. citenzenship or U.S. permanent residence, and a minimum of three (3) out of the past five (5) years’ residency status in the U.S.
