Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide undergraduate/graduate researchers, individuals with bachelors or master's degrees, post-doctoral associates, senior research fellows, and academic affiliates with fellowship opportunities and financial assistance to obtain laboratory experiences and aid in developing collaborative research relationships with NIST staff within the NIST Gaithersburg, MD laboratory.
Activities to be performed: PREP seeks to encourage the growth and progress of science and engineering in the United States, including the encouragement of women and minority researchers seeking to further their professional development, and to nurture researchers and post-doctoral associates considered to be potential future NIST employees.
Expected outcomes: The objectives of the PREP program are to: 1) encourage the growth and progress of science and engineering in the United States by providing research opportunities for PREP researchers with NIST scientists and engineers and exposing them to cutting-edge research and development (R&D); 2) promote the pursuit of degrees or professional development, as applicable, for PREP researchers; and 3) promote diversity and equity in STEM.
Intended beneficiaries: NIST and NIST researchers, and undergraduate/graduate researchers, individuals with bachelors or master's degrees, post-doctoral associates, senior research fellows, and academic affiliates, employed by or affiliated with the universities.
Subrecipient activities: The recipient does intend to subaward Southeast Universities Research Association (SURA), a consortium of over 60 leading research universities in the U.S. and Canada with a demonstrated track record of filling needs for skilled research staff in federal labs.
