About the Program:

The RUMBA (Research for Undergraduates: adventures in Mathematical Biology and its Applications) program at OSU is an NSF-funded initiative to facilitate undergraduate research at the interface of mathematics and biology. OSU undergraduates have the opportunity to participate in the program in various ways, ranging from enrolling in newly-developed coursework to working as an Undergraduate Research Fellow (URF) in an intensive, funded research experience. This website provides a great deal of information concerning the program -- please visit the links above. For futher information, please feel free to contact any of the affiliated faculty.
