Dear all,

Below is a summary of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) 
program, a partnership between NSF and the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology (NIST). This program provides a great opportunity for 
"outstanding undergraduates (including graduating seniors) who would 
benefit from off-campus summer research in a world-class scientific 
environment."

There are SURF programs in two locations with separate applications:

Gaithersburg (http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?mode=VIEW&oppId=7506)
Boulder (http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?mode=VIEW&oppId=7507 )

The application states that more than one student can be nominated. Please 
let me know if you are interested in nominating any students. The 
application must be submitted through Grants.gov - our office will be 
sending information to all faculty about using Grants.gov in the near future.

Best,
Tania

Program Name: FY 2006 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)

Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement

Agency Name: Department of Commerce

Description:

The SURF program is soliciting applications in the areas of Electronics and 
Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Chemical Science and 
Technology, Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, Building and Fire 
Research, and Information Technology.

The SURF program will provide an opportunity for the NIST laboratories and 
the National Science Foundation (NSF) to join in a partnership to encourage 
outstanding undergraduate students to pursue careers in science and 
engineering. The program will provide research opportunities for students 
to work with internationally known NIST scientists, to expose them to 
cutting-edge research and promote the pursuit of graduate degrees in 
science and engineering.  NIST SURF will work with appropriate department 
chairs, outreach coordinators, and directors of multi-disciplinary academic 
organizations to identify outstanding undergraduates (including graduating 
seniors) who would benefit from off-campus summer research in a world-class 
scientific environment.

The objective of the SURF Programs is to build a mutually beneficial 
relationship between the student, the institution, and NIST. NIST is one of 
the nation's premiere research institutions for the physical and 
engineering sciences and, as the lead Federal agency for technology 
transfer, it provides a strong interface between government, industry and 
academia. NIST embodies a special science culture, developed from a large 
and well-equipped research staff that enthusiastically blends programs that 
address the immediate needs of industry with longer-term research that 
anticipates future needs. This occurs in few other places and enables the 
Electronics and Electrical Engineering Lab (EEEL), Manufacturing 
Engineering Lab (MEL), Chemical Science and Technology Lab (CSTL), Physics 
Lab (PL), Materials Science and Engineering Lab (MSEL), Building and Fire 
Research Lab (BFRL), and Information Technology Lab (ITL) to offer unique 
research and training opportunities for undergraduates, providing them a 
research-rich environment and exposure to state of the art equipment.

Deadline: Feb 15, 2006
