The SCIPE CyberInfrastructure Research Experience Opportunity (CI-REO) is a mentored undergraduate research program running from August 25 to December 11, 2026. Students at the University of Hawaiʻi and University of Guam commit 10 hours per week to work on advanced computing projects, receiving a $3,200 stipend for their participation. While research mentors are based in Mānoa, Hilo, and Guam, remote options are available for students at other locations. This experience is bolstered by weekly professional development workshops and cohort activities through the Hawaiʻi Data Science Institute, providing a structured environment for students to master the software and high-performance networks that drive modern scientific breakthroughs.

Interested applicants must apply by May 31, 2026, using their university email. Eligibility is open to all majors who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, though Python fluency is highly recommended. The application requires students to select a specific research track, such as developing Large Language Models (LLMs) for the Hawaiʻian language or astronomy, analyzing bird vocalizations at UH Hilo, or modernizing the Hawaiʻi Climate Atlases using TypeScript. Because projects vary in their technical needs—ranging from AI-driven "zero trust" security to managing massive datasets on the Koa and Jetstream2 systems—students should carefully review the specific prerequisites for their preferred project before submitting.
