National Research Council Research Associateship Programs
The objectives of the Research Associateship Programs are (1) to provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the sponsoring laboratories and (2) to contribute thereby to the overall efforts of the federal laboratories.Resident Research Associateships and Summer Faculty Programs
Resident Research Associateships (Type II) are awarded by the Research Council and administered by the Associateship Programs Office on behalf of the sponsoring federal agencies. Type II programs, with one or two exceptions, are open to both senior investigators and recent doctoral graduates and are generally open to both foreign nationals and United States citizens. Awards under the Resident Research Associateship are generally made initially for one year with the possibility of renewal for a second, and, in some cases a third year. The Summer Faculty Program, which is only open to United States Citizens, allows academic faculty to conduct a focused research project during the summer months. Associates are not employees of the Research Council nor the sponsoring laboratories but are guest investigators at these laboratories.
