NRC 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 include generous stipends ranging from $42,000 - $75,000 per year for recent Ph.D. recipients, and higher for additional experience and graduate entry level stipends beginning at $30,000 and higher for additional experience. The 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 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 are four review cycles annually. Deadlines for 2011 are:
February 1
May 1
August 1
November 1
Applicants should contact prospective Advisor(s) at the lab(s) prior to the application deadline to discuss their research interests and funding opportunities.

Purdue Life Science Ph.D. Open House
Program Date: November 13, 2009
Website: www.gradschool.purdue.edu/pulse
I am writing from Purdue University to invite your junior and senior undergraduates to the PULSe Fall Open House on Friday, November 13, 2009. This open house serves as an opportunity to introduce your students to the Purdue University Interdisciplinary Life Science Ph.D. Program (PULSe). PULSe provides opportunities for an interdisciplinary graduate experience in the basic life sciences for Ph.D. students.
I am calling upon you to provide this information to those students you think would benefit from an information session about the PULSe program. Our day of activities will include a meet the faculty session, lunch with current students, and a tour of lab facilities. Your students will gain exposure to some of the life science research being done at Purdue, while they are also given an opportunity to talk with faculty and students to familiarize themselves with the PULSe Program.
Some of the highlights of PULSe:
- All students admitted to PULSe receive paid tuition and an assistantship for the entire first year of study to allow them to complete core requirements and participate in laboratory rotations. The level of support in subsequent years will meet or exceed the level of support provided in the student’s first year.
- PULSe students carry out research rotations in FOUR labs for periods of SEVEN weeks each in Year 1, two rotations in Fall semester and two in Spring.
- While in PULSe, students participate in a curriculum designed to provide them with the professional skills necessary for research in the life sciences. These include: scientific communication, proposal writing, and ethics.
An invitation to the PULSe Fall Open House on Friday, November 13, 2009 appears below.
All RSVP’s should be e-mailed to Dr. Colleen Gabauer, Director of Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs, at cgabauer@purdue.edu. Should you have any questions about the Fall Open House or the PULSe Program, please feel free to call 765-494-9256.
Thank you for your time.
