Opportunity Summary:
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) NIST Gaithersburg Programs is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support undergraduate research experiences at the NIST Gaithersburg campus. Through this program, NIST seeks to partner with eligible U.S. colleges and universities (including those in U.S. territories) that will nominate undergraduate students for summer research fellowships. The central purpose is to place selected undergraduates in research environments alongside internationally recognized NIST scientists, giving students direct exposure to advanced, real-world scientific and engineering work and encouraging them to continue into graduate study in STEM fields.
This opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number 2013 NIST SURF G 01 and is administered as a cooperative agreement, indicating an award structure where NIST expects active involvement in the supported effort rather than a simple pass-through grant. The program sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 11.609 (Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is aimed at colleges and universities in the United States and its territories that offer degree-granting programs in relevant STEM disciplines. The fields specifically referenced include nanoscale science and engineering, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, biology, materials science, neutron research, and physics. Importantly, institutions apply on behalf of students, and each nominated undergraduate must meet the student eligibility criteria described in the full announcement (referenced as Section III.1). In practice, this means the institution serves as the applicant and nominates one or more qualified students to participate in the summer research experience at NIST Gaithersburg.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 20, 2012, with the same date noted for creation.
