The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Harvard University, named, Materials for Bioengineering Research Initiative Dedicated to Gateway Experiences (BRIDGE), focuses on the interplay of materials science and bioengineering. Each student will work within a research team on an individual project from one of the following areas: studies of the mechanics of cells; enhanced and novel forms of drug delivery; the impact of surfaces on cell function; cellular-scale approaches to regenerative medicine; and other research at the interface of materials and bioengineering. Students will participate in weekly faculty-led seminars and professional development workshops. The 10-week summer program will provide professional and intellectual development opportunities for students without prior research experience and for nontraditional and returning students in a supportive community. A diverse group of students with backgrounds in biology, chemistry, engineering and physics will be recruited for this program. This group will include students from underrepresented groups in science and engineering, women, and students from non-research intensive colleges and universities. The REU Site also supports three teachers from local area high schools each year for a six-week summer research experience. Participating teachers will develop course modules based on their research experience to be used in their classroom. This Site is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate, and by the Division of Engineering Education Centers in the Engineering Directorate.

哈佛大学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站名为“致力于网关体验的生物工程研究材料材料计划”(BRIDGE)，重点关注材料科学和生物工程的相互作用。每个学生将在一个研究团队中从事以下领域之一的单个项目：细胞力学的研究；增强的新型药物输送方式；表面对细胞功能的影响；细胞规模的再生医学方法；以及材料和生物工程界面的其他研究。学生将参加每周由教师主持的研讨会和专业发展研讨会。为期 10 周的暑期项目将为没有研究经验的学生以及非传统学生和回国学生在支持性社区中提供专业和智力发展的机会。该项目将招募具有生物学、化学、工程和物理学背景的多元化学生。该群体将包括来自科学和工程领域代表性不足群体的学生、女性以及来自非研究密集型学院和大学的学生。 REU 站点每年还支持当地高中的三名教师进行为期六周的暑期研究体验。 参与的教师将根据他们的研究经验开发课程模块以在课堂上使用。该网站由数学和物理科学局材料研究部和多学科活动办公室以及工程局工程教育中心部共同资助。
