FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: Extending Industrial Assessment Centers to Underserved Areas
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) has issued, on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Extending Industrial Assessment Centers to Underserved Areas.” The goal of extending Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) to underserved areas is to encourage a broader and more diverse set of performers, and further expand the geographic reach of the IAC program to areas that are less likely to be adequately serviced because of their distance from the 28 IACs that were selected in 2016.
For more information, view the full solicitation and attend the informational webinar on January 19 at 12:00 PM ET.
Ames Laboratory’s Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship Deadline – January 13
The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program is a premier Department of Energy fall, spring, and summer internship program designed to bring undergraduates into the laboratory research setting at the Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University to work with scientists who are leaders in their research fields.
Students receive guidance from PhD scientist/mentors and work in an exciting research environment alongside scientists, post docs and graduate students. In addition, students interact with scientists in diverse research areas throughout the Ames Lab via research talks and tours.
Applications for the summer 2017 program are due January 13, 2017. Click here for more information and to start the application process.
DEADLINE: Innovation Crossroads Business Mentoring Services – January 15
