The National Research Council of the
National Academies sponsors a number of awards for graduate, postdoctoral and
senior researchers at participating federal laboratories and affiliated
institutions. These awards include generous stipends ranging
from $42,000 - $80,000 per year for recent Ph.D. recipients, and higher for
additional experience. Graduate entry
level stipends begin at $30,000. These 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 online applications, instructions on how to apply and
a list of participating laboratories, is
available on the NRC Research Associateship Programs Website (see
