NSF funds a large number of research
opportunities for undergraduate students
through its REU Sites program. An
REU Site consists of a group of 10 or so
undergraduates who work in the research
programs of the host institution. Each stu-
dent is associated with a specific research
project, where he/she works closely with
the faculty and other researchers.
ORAU manages the EPA Environmen-
tal Research and Business Support Program
under the Student Services Contracting
Authority. Selected applicants will become
temporary employees of ORAU for the
duration of the assignment, up to five years.
Students must contact the individual
sites for information and application
materials. NSF does not have application
materials and does not select student
participants. A contact person and contact
information is listed for each site.

Visit gardens at Otter Rock, help Samaritan House Homeless Family Shelter
The 13 th annual Secret Garden Tour
sponsored by the Samaritan House Home-
less Family Shelter in Newport, Ore., is set
for June 26 from 12-5 p.m.
Tickets are only $25 and include visits
to the gardens, light snacks and wine as
well as musical entertainment. Participants
are encouraged to bring their own water.
Shuttles will be provided to access
some of the gardens.
This year the gardens are in the unique
coastal community of Otter Rock, just
north of Newport. The gardens have many
special features, including ocean views,
natural grasses, garden art, rock walls and
a piece of a McCullough bridge.
The garden tour provides an oppor-
tunity to see lovely gardens that normally
are enjoyed only by the owners and their
families and friends. It is a wonderful way
to see the many flowers, grasses and plants
that can be grown at the coast, as well as
how to use the natural beauty of the area
to enhance your own garden and yard.
The money raised from this event
benefits the Samaritan House Homeless
Family Shelter, the only family shelter
on the Oregon coast between Coos Bay
and Tillamook. Its mission is to shelter,
educate and guide homeless families with
children toward independent living.
Tickets are available at JC Thriftway
Market in Newport, Toledo Feed and Seed,
Bear Valley Nursery and Landscaping in
Lincoln City, and at the Samaritan House
office – 715 NW Bay St. in Newport.
Tickets also are available online at brown-
papertickets.com.
More information is available at sam-
famshelter.org or 541-574-8898.
