1. Research Alliance in Math and Science (RAMS) program
Dear students and faculty:
The
website is open for applications for summer 2013 internships through
the Research Alliance in Math and Science (RAMS) program
(http://computing.ornl.gov/internships/rams/)! The research internship
targets under-represented U.S. citizens, undergraduate levels majoring
in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and related
disciplines. If you were a RAMS intern as an undergraduate, you may be
eligible as a graduate student. Please evaluate your eligibility before
applying.
Please
note that all fields are required for submission and for cyber
security, there is no opportunity to save partially completed
applications. Current student resumes should be uploaded as a Word
(.doc) file with LAST NAME as the first word in the filename. Resume
files that are not named with your LAST NAME first cannot be accepted
and will result in an incomplete application. Incomplete applications
will not be considered.
I
look forward to receiving your application packages! Please note that
the deadline is the deadline for your entire package. Your official
transcript should show the courses you will have completed plus the
courses you are taking now. It is understood that courses you are
currently taking will not have a grade. Your faculty should comment on
the expected grade for relevant classes underway in the faculty
recommendations.
Please
note: your academic standing is the last year of school you have
completed. For most of you, that will be the academic year you
completed in May 2012.

4. NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF) Program
NASA announces a call for graduate fellowship proposals to the NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF) program for the 2013-2014 academic year. This call for fellowship proposals solicits applications from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of individuals pursuing Master of Science (M.Sc.) or Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Earth and space sciences, or related disciplines. The purpose of NESSF is to ensure continued training of a highly qualified workforce in disciplines needed to achieve NASA¹s scientific goals. Awards resulting from the competitive selection will be made in the form of training grants to the respective universities.
The deadline for NEW applications is February 1, 2013, and the deadline for RENEWAL applications is March 15, 2013.
The NESSF call for proposals and submission instructions are located at the NESSF 13 solicitation index page at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ - click on "Solicitations" then click on "Open Solicitations" then select the "NESSF 13" announcement. Also refer to ³Proposal Submission Instructions² and ³Frequently Asked Questions² listed under ³Other Documents² on the NESSF 13 solicitation index page.
All proposals must be submitted in electronic format only through the NASA NSPIRES system. The advisor has an active role in the submission of the fellowship proposal. To use the NSPIRES system, the advisor, the student, and the university must all register. Extended instructions on how to submit an electronic proposal package are posted on the NESSF 13 solicitation index page listed above. You can register in NSPIRES at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/.
