Graduate, Postdoctoral and Senior Research Awards
As you may know, the National Research Council of the National Academies sponsors a number of awards for graduate, postdoctoral and senior researchers at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. These awards provide generous stipends ($30,000 - $35,000 for graduate students, $42,000 - $75,000 per year for recent Ph.D. recipients and higher for additional experience), and the opportunity 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 instructions on how to apply online and a list of participating laboratories, is available on the NRC Research Associateship Programs Web site at:
www.national-academies.org/rap
Questions should be directed to the NRC at 202-334-2760 (phone) or rap@nas.edu.
There will be four review cycles annually. Upcoming deadline dates are:
November 1, 2009
February 1, 2010
May 1, 2010
August 1, 2010
Applicants should begin a dialogue with prospective Advisers at the lab(s) as early as possible, before their anticipated application deadline.

2009 EAS Student Research Awards
Dear Professor:
Here is an opportunity for you to reward an undergraduate student who is doing outstanding work on a research project. The Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exhibition annually offers awards to recognize and encourage scientific promise and research talent in several undergraduate chemistry students. Each college may nominate
one student who will be a senior in November of 2009. Nominate one of your students!
Winners will receive an all expense paid trip to the EAS, be awarded plaques at an award luncheon, and have an opportunity to present their research project in a poster session. In addition, they will be able to participate in all the usual activities of a world-class
scientific convention and meet distinguished members of their future profession. Professors who nominate the winners will receive free full-conferee registration for the EAS. All professors submitting nominations will receive free admission to the exposition. The EAS will be held at the Garden State Exhlbit Center in Somerset, NJ, November 16 to 19, 2009. Full information on the EAS technical program and exposition can be found at www.EAS.org.
The awardees will be students who are already involved in research, in the broad field of analytical chemistry. Nominations should be in the form of a letter including the following:
- Your appraisal of how the student handles research, deals with problems, and gets involved in the process.
- Student's postal and e-mail addresses for both the current spring semester and the summer.
Nominations should be submitted bye-mail to student.awards@eas.org.
Questions: Contact Dr. Kebbekus at this e-address, or by phone at 609-577-2261. Nominations are due by April 30, 2009. AU nominations will be acknowledged within three days (usually the same day), so if you don't get a response, please send it again!
Please feel free to share this request for nominations with your colleagues.
Sincerely,
Barbara Kebbekus
