DIMACS, with National Science Foundation sponsorship, has offered an REU program since 1993. Over the past few years, the DIMACS REU program has included many associated subprograms, such as:

The source of funds to support the students and some of the departmental staff are separate for the NSF-site, the Math Department, the TRIPODS, and the IC-CAE programs.

The DIMACS REU program is currently supported by the National Science Foundation (grant CNS-2150186).

Previous support has included funds from:
