[Geoldept] NASA Space Grant Summer 2021 Research Internships

[Hye In Park]

Hi everyone,



Please see the attached PDF for more details about NASA Space Grant Research Internships available this summer! The application materials are due on March 5th, 2021.



Awards

Students may apply for summer internships, paid at an hourly rate over 10 weeks totaling up to $5,200, to pursue guided research in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) or STEM education. Mentor faculty will receive an award of $750 to cover incidental expenses. Up to six internships will be awarded for summer 2021.

Eligibility

The awards are open to undergraduate, post baccalaureate, or graduate students in good academic standing who are enrolled in, or plan to pursue, one of the following:

*A major in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM)-related field with applications to space/aerospace science or engineering, and/or:

*A teacher preparation program (elementary or secondary) with a STEM teaching specialty.


To be eligible for either, applicants must express an interest in a STEM major or teacher preparation program but need not be enrolled in a specific program at the time of application. Students must propose a basic or applied STEM or STEM education research project that address one or more of NASA's research priorities, and must have a plan to carry out research plans under close guidance of a WWU faculty member. No previous research experience is necessary, and students proposing new research projects are encouraged to apply, under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

Expectations
Successful applicants will be expected to: (1) carry out their research over summer quarter 2021, (2) work with other awardees to plan and facilitate a STEM outreach event at WWU or another location involving school-aged children over summer quarter 2021, and (3) present their research during Scholars Week in spring 2022. Questions regarding eligibility of student research projects should be directed to Dr. Emily Borda, Emily.Borda at wwu.edu<mailto:Emily.Borda at wwu.edu>, SL 250D, 360-650-3637.
