Opportunity Summary:
The Professional Research Experience Program (PREP MML) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funding opportunity designed to place students and early-career researchers into hands-on research environments inside NISTs Material Measurement Laboratory (MML). The main purpose is to support fellowship opportunities and related financial assistance so that undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows can gain real laboratory experience while working alongside NIST scientists and engineers. The work is carried out at NIST locations in Gaithersburg, Maryland and Charleston, South Carolina, and the program is structured to strengthen long-term, collaborative research relationships between NIST staff and the participating fellows and their home academic institutions.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial involvement by NIST during the performance of the project. The funding activity aligns with science and technology and other research and development, and it is listed under CFDA number 11.620 (Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means institutions are not required to contribute a specific financial match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited to accredited institutions of higher education that offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in fields relevant to the technical programs of the NIST Material Measurement Laboratory.
