CISE REU Toolkit

Welcome to the CISE REU Toolkit!


This Toolkit was designed to assist CISE REU Site Principal Investigators in fulfilling reporting and research goals and is funded by the National Science Foundation. The Toolkit contents have emerged from a collective effort of the CISE REU PI community as a means of facilitating NSF reporting and proposals, as well as strengthening research about REU site outcomes. Toolkit content is intended to provide guidelines and a resource for support; it is not intended to provide strict rules of reporting and evaluation. The Toolkit is modified and updated on an ongoing basis as new materials become available and new topics become of interest to the CISE REU PI community. Your input is welcome; click on the Give Feedback button to submit your comments and suggestions. This site is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, grants # 1346847; 1645846; 1936534.
