OBJECTIVES: <br>
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)
Gaithersburg<br>
program is soliciting applications in the areas of Electronics and<br>
Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Nanoscale Science<br>
and Technology, Chemical Science and Technology, Physics, Materials<br>
Science and Engineering/Neutron Research, Building and Fire
Research,<br>
and Information Technology. <br><br>
The SURF program will provide an opportunity for the NIST<br>
laboratories and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to join in a<br>
partnership to encourage outstanding undergraduate students to
pursue<br>
careers in science and engineering. The program will provide
research<br>
opportunities for students to work with internationally known NIST<br>
scientists, to expose them to cutting-edge research and promote the<br>
pursuit of graduate degrees in science and engineering. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
Applications for participation in the SURF program are only<br>
accepted from colleges or universities, and not from individual<br>
students. The program is open to all United States citizens or<br>
permanent residents. Students should be undergraduates at a U.S.<br>
university or college with a scientific major and a G.P.A. of
3.0/4.0<br>
or better is recommended. <br><br>
FUNDING<br>
The SURF NIST Gaithersburg Program is anticipated to run from
May<br>
24, 2010 through August 6, 2010; adjustments may be made to<br>
accommodate<br>
specific academic schedules (e.g., a limited number of 9-week<br>
cooperative agreements). Funds budgeted for payment to students
under<br>
these programs are stipends, not salary. The stipend is an amount
that<br>
is expected to be provided to the participating student to help
defray<br>
the cost of living, for the duration of the program, in the
Washington<br>
National Capital Region. Program funding will be available to
provide<br>
for the<br>
costs of stipends ($409.09 per week per student), travel, and
lodging<br>
(up to $3,400 per student). The actual number of awards made
under<br>
this announcement will depend on the proposed budgets and the<br>
availability of funding. For all SURF Gaithersburg Programs
described<br>
in this notice, it is expected that individual awards to
institutions<br>
will range from approximately $3,000 to $70,000. Funding for student<br>
housing will be included in cooperative agreements awarded as a
result<br>
of this notice. SOURCE: Federal Register (12/15/09). Vol. 74,
