RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
FOR UNDERGRADUATES
CASFER
REU Program
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center for Advancing Sustainable and Distributed Fertilizer Production (CASFER) strives to solve one of the most pressing problems facing humankind, how do we feed the growing world population while protecting and sustaining our environment?
CASFER hosts a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program every year during the summer. Our REU participants are diverse and talented students eager to learn and grow with others from different backgrounds. Students are placed in a wide range of projects, working directly with faculty, post docs and graduate students while contributing to the transformation of the agricultural and fertilizer industries into a Nitrogen Circular Economy.

The CASFER 2025 Summer REU Program will be housed at several of our partner institutions, including Texas Tech University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Florida A&M University, and Case Western Reserve University. Students will receive training in a laboratory environment and be expected to assist with ongoing research projects. REU students will work closely with scientific mentors and further develop their network of scientists, engineers, and industry professionals. This program is designed to develop not only a student's STEM-based skills, but also their presenting, public speaking, and communication.
