REU Programs
The REU is sponsored by the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior, a group which represents more than 40 Indiana University faculty members with primary homes in departments of biology, psychological and brain sciences, anthropology, neural science, and medical sciences. Many of these researchers and their postdocs, technicians and graduate students are available each year to REU interns as possible summer mentors. Previous REU interns have studied the behavior of a wide variety of animals including birds, bats, hamsters, lizards and insects.
