CRAW supports a number of undergraduate research programs. The goal of all programs is to increase the number of women entering graduate studies in the fields of computer science and engineering. Some programs are coordinated with other organizations allowing them to include students from underrepresented minorities or non US institutions.

• Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates (DREU) matches promising undergraduate students with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty mentor's home institution.

  • DREU (Distributed Research Experiences for Undergraduates):
    This program is targeted at students from all underrepresented groups, women and men, that are enrolled in a US Institution or who are US citizens or permanent residents studying abroad. This program was known as the DMP, Distributed Mentor Project, from 1994-2008.

  • C-DMP (Canadian DMP):
    This program is targeted at undergraduate women that are enrolled in a Canadian Institution.

  
  

• Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) supports research experiences for teams of undergraduates who work during the academic year and optionally the following summer at their home institutions. Research can be in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or in a multidisciplinary area. The program is targeted at students from all underrepresented groups.
  
  

• Multidisciplinary Research Opportunities for Women (MRO-W) [through summer 2009] supports multidisciplinary research for teams of female undergraduates during the academic year and following summer at their home institutions. Each team should consist of scientists from both the computing and non-computing fields working on research related to the use, support, deployment, development or design of cyberinfrastructure.
