Faculty Research Opportunity

 Faculty-Student Team Defense Lab Research Program

Deadline to apply: April 30, 2021

https://orise.orau.gov/FSRP

 

The Faculty-Student Team Defense Lab Research Program provides the opportunity for a faculty member and an undergraduate student, whom the selected faculty member chooses, to work with a Department of Defense scientist for a 10-week summer research experience. Faculty are encouraged to apply for an opportunity that aligns with their research interests to provide the most relevant experience. The selected participants will receive a stipend (for faculty the stipend is $1,800/week).

 

All of the research experiences this year will be virtual in nature due to the pandemic. We still have three research opportunities to fill and would love to have you, as a faculty member, apply to them. After the faculty member for each opportunity is selected by the DoD mentor, the faculty member will then select one of their students with whom they wish to be paired.

 

The applications are open until April 30. More information and links to the applications can be found at https://orise.orau.gov/FSRP
