We are asking your assistance in forwarding this message to inform students
and faculty in your department of these outstanding fellowship
opportunities. More detailed information and an online application can be

The National Research Council of the National Academies sponsors a number
of awards for graduate, postdoctoral and senior researchers at
participating federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. These
awards include generous stipends ranging from $42,000 - $75,000 per year
for recent Ph.D. recipients, and higher for additional experience. Graduate
entry level stipends begin at $30,000. These awards provide the opportunity
for recipients to do independent research in some of the best-equipped and
staffed laboratories in the U.S. Research opportunities are open to U.S.
citizens, permanent residents, and for some of the laboratories, foreign
nationals.

Detailed program information, including online applications, instructions
on how to apply and a list of participating laboratories, is available on
