The Cooperative Education and Internship Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder has been awarded approximately $600,000 to continue the National Institute for Standards and Technology Professional Research Experience Program (NIST/PREP), according to Howard Rosenberg, principal investigator and project director for 抖阴短视频-Boulder.
The program provides outstanding work and learning experiences for undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students at the NIST lab in Boulder. Graduate and post-doctoral students work with 抖阴短视频-Boulder faculty on selected projects.
For the past six years participation in NIST/PREP has been limited to local universities. This year marks the first time that the process has been opened to universities nationwide.
"The program provides excellent opportunities for students, especially women and minorities, to get exposure to the sciences," Rosenberg said. The NIST/PREP program pays in-state tuition for participants as well as a monthly stipend. Students work part-time during the school year and full-time in the summer.
Rosenberg noted that the program also opens the door to permanent employment, a benefit for students and employers.
"The goal of the program is to have a positive impact on the deficit of women and minorities in the sciences," he said. "The NIST scientists provide work experiences for students who are eligible for full-time employment once they graduate."
This year 40 students will be selected to participate in the program.
