The
20th annual ORISE/ORNL Graduate Student Recruitment Fair
will take place on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The fair is held in conjunction with the conclusion of the ORNL summer undergraduate student programs to capitalize on this brimming talent pool. Over 200 undergraduate students from across the country will present posters of their research covering a wide variety of STEM fields. We do hope you will attend or have others represent your institution to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to attract top-flight students to your institution’s graduate programs.
EVENT REGISTRATION:
There will be a limit of one table/four people per institution. Table location will be assigned upon arrival. Register each attendee at
https://orausurvey.orau.org/n/gradstudentfair2019.aspx
to reserve a table and receive ORNL badge access. Only those who register will receive badge access. Be aware that increased security concerns require that you have early approval to access ORNL.
U.S. Citizens must register by July 18, and Non-Citizens (including legal permanent residents) must register by June 13.
Please note that
Representatives will be limited to Bldg. 5200, ORNL Conference Center, and will not be permitted to go to any other buildings on campus.

NASA Space Technology Research Grants Program
Early Stage Innovations
NOI Due: 5/29/19
Proposals Due: 6/26/19
Seeks proposals on specific space technologies that are currently at low Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). Investment in innovative low-TRL research increases knowledge and capabilities in response to new questions and requirements, stimulates innovation, and allows more creative solutions to problems constrained by schedule and budget. Moreover, it is investment in fundamental research activities that has historically benefited the Nation on a broader basis, generating new industries and spin-off applications.
