This grant from NIST is for eligible U.S. higher education institutions offering two- or four-year STEM degrees, covering disciplines such as biochemistry, engineering, and physics. The grant’s purpose is to establish and manage a Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). This program will foster collaborative research relationships between NIST staff and various academic participants, including undergraduate and graduate students, individuals with bachelor’s or master’s degrees, post-doctoral fellows, and academic affiliates. Research opportunities will be hosted at NIST campuses in Boulder, Colorado, Gaithersburg, Maryland, and/or Charleston, South Carolina. Institutions may apply for the PREP Boulder, PREP Gaithersburg, or both programs.
