as in a variety of applied research areas relating to conservation,
environment, fission and fusion energy and other energy technologies.
Appointments made primarily during the academic year are typically
available to students after completion of two semesters. Argonne has two
types of CO-OP Programs: Alternating (semester at Argonne, followed by
semester at college/university) and Parallel (part-time work to a maximum
of 19 hours per week concurrent with full-time college/university
enrollment). A student who is employed in the CO-OP Program is expected
to work a minimum of one year as a parallel CO-OP or three semesters as
an alternating CO-OP. Students who are interested in shorter lengths of
employment should apply for the Research Aide appointment. Graduate CO-OP
opportunities are available to students while they are attending graduate
schools in the Chicago area.

Research Institution (STRI) in Panama, is a bureau of the Smithsonian
Institution based outside of the United States, is dedicated to
understanding biological diversity. Although STRI is based in Panama,
research is conducted throughout the tropics. The Supplementary Research
Award Program is a mechanism to replace the practice of waiving or
reducing STRI fees for visitors. The SRA program is to recognize that in
some cases it is to STRI's benefit to have researchers using facilities
even if they can not pay full fees. The program is to provide
supplementary support only. It is not intended to be a fellowship program
that would provide major support for a visitor's research at STRI.
Annually STRI will set aside funds to cover the program costs.

participated in an active curriculum of lectures, behind-the-scenes
tours, technique demonstrations, discussions, and field trips that
focused on exploring natural history science and developing the skills
necessary to become effective researchers and ambassadors of natural
history studies. The NMNH scientific areas include: anthropology, botany,

The Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI)
initiative promotes university-industry partnerships by making project
funds or fellowships/traineeships available to support an eclectic mix of
industry-university linkages. Special interest is focused on affording
the opportunity for: (1) faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students to
conduct research and gain experience in an industrial setting; (2)
industrial scientists and engineers to bring industry's perspective and
integrative skills to academe; and (3) interdisciplinary university-
industry teams to conduct research projects. This solicitation targets
high-risk/high-gain research with a focus on fundamental research, new
approaches to solving generic problems, development of innovative
collaborative industry-university educational programs, and direct
transfer of new knowledge between academe and industry. GOALI seeks to
fund transformative research that lies beyond that which industry would
normally fund. Graduate Student Industrial Fellowships/Traineeships are
awarded for science, engineering, and mathematics graduate students for
full- or part-time work in industry in an area related to his/her
research under the guidance of an academic adviser and an industrial
mentor.
