Welcome to the TEAMS website

TEAMS is a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored site under their Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.  TEAMS stands for Technical Experience in Advancing Modeling Sciences.  The focus of this site can be found in its two names: teamwork and modeling. This website serves as an informational hub for what the program is about, our goals, the available projects and how to apply to the program. Below is a "Table of Contents" for this website with details on all aspects of the program.

Program Details

An overview of the goals of the program, program expectations, and a general overview of what is involved with the program.
