OBJECTIVES:
During the program, interns engage in studies and
activities throughout
the National Academies. Some examples of projects
interns conducted
include developing an outline of themes of leading
research in remote
sensing applications; a workshop on how scientists
in developing
countries can take better advantage of the new
wireless communication
networks to gain access to the Internet; and a
background paper on the
current state of knowledge about the demography of
street-children, and
on what is known about the cost and effectiveness of
existing programs
to help street-children and orphans in the U.S. and
abroad. Each intern
is assigned to a senior staff member who acts as his
or her mentor.
ELIGIBILITY
Applications for the internships are invited from
graduate students
through post-doctoral scholars in any physical,
biological, or social
science field or any field of engineering,
medicine/health, or
veterinary medicine as well as business, law,
education and other
graduate and professional programs. Postdoctoral
scholars should have
received their Ph.D. within the past five years. If
not yet enrolled in
a graduate program, applicants should have been
officially admitted to a
graduate program with plans to enroll in that
program immediately
following the internship.
FUNDING
For the year 2004, the internship program will
comprise three
sessions: Winter--January 12 through April 2 (twelve
weeks with the
possibility of a four week extension; Summer--June 1
through August 6
(ten weeks); and Fall--September 7 through November
24 (twelve weeks).
The stipend for the twelve-week January and
September program is $5,700.
The stipend for the ten-week June program is $4,800.
The internship
stipend is to cover all living expenses for the
period. In addition, a
travel stipend of up to $500 will be provided.
Travel stipends can only
exceed $500 if a petition is made ahead of time to
the program office
and if sufficient funds are available. In no cases
will the travel
