Posted on: 1/7/2013 12:00:00 AM... The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is accepting applications for its Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program at its Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Boulder, Colorado, campuses.

The SURF program encourages the pursuit of graduate degrees in science and engineering by exposing undergraduate students to cutting-edge research and providing them the opportunity to work with NIST scientists. Applications are submitted on behalf of qualified students by their schools. Colleges and universities in the United States and its territories with degree-granting programs in nanoscale science, engineering, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, biology, materials science, neutron research, and/or physics are eligible to nominate students.

NIST expects to fund stipends for approximately 90 students in Gaithersburg and about 18 students in Boulder, working in laboratories that focus on information technology, physical measurement, material measurement, nanoscale science, engineering or neutron research.

Applications are due February 15, 2013 and must be submitted by eligible colleges and universities, not by individual students.
