Summer Faculty Program

The NRC administers a Summer Faculty program for the Environmental Protection Agency. This program allows academic faculty to conduct a focused research project in a federal laboratory during the summer months.

Awards are made for continuous, full-time residence in the laboratory for a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 14 weeks. Applicants must hold a current, full-time teaching or research faculty appointment at an accredited baccalaureate-granting U.S. college, university, or technical institution and have an earned doctorate in science or engineering.

The program is open to U.S. citizens and non-U.S. nationals holding legal permanent resident status. The selection process for Summer Faculty takes into consideration the research the applicant proposes to conduct in the federal laboratory and the benefit of the program to the individual in his/her academic role. Applications for Summer Faculty awards are reviewed in the February and November
