Undergraduate - $3,700 for 9 weeks + housing
Faculty - $7,900 for 9 weeks + housing
(The program covers housing up to $1,200)

LOCATION:

Multi-Institutional (university and industrial research laboratories)

ORGANIZERS:

Dr. Margret J. Geselbracht (Reed College)
Dr. Douglas A. Keszler (Oregon State University)
Dr. David C. Johnson (University of Oregon)

PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION:

This is a nine-week summer program in solid state chemistry research for undergraduate and college faculty, under the direction of a recognized authority in the field. A stipend plus a housing supplement and travel expenses are paid for all participants by the NSF program. The program starts with tutorial sessions at the University of Oregon (6/15–6/21). After the tutorial the participants will travel to a university or industrial laboratory of their choice for a eight-week research program, and will then reconvene at Oregon State University for a final symposium (8/15–8/16) before the trip home.
Participating faculty will have the choice of either laboratory research or a university program directed toward the development of lecture materials on solid state chemistry suitable for inclusion in undergraduate course work.

ELIGIBILITY:

College students and faculty of domestic institutions, who are US citizens or permanent residents, are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to undergraduate students who are rising seniors and to faculty members who are engaged in course development in chemistry or physics. Special consideration will be given to individuals from institutions where an advanced research program in solid state chemistry is unavailable. Faculty applicants are encouraged to apply jointly with an undergraduate student from the same institution. While preference will be given to first time applicants, repeat participation is possible for faculty members for a continuation of curriculum development.
