DEADLINE NEARS FOR NASA RESEARCH PROGRAM APPLICATIONS



Undergraduate students majoring in science, technology, engineering 
and mathematics are eligible for a 10-week summer research experience 
through the 2007 Undergraduate Student Research Program at NASA 
Stennis Space Center. 



NASA is now accepting online applications for the 2007 USRP at all of 
its participating centers.



The program provides undergraduate students a hands-on, challenging 
research experience that stimulates continued interest in science, 
technology and related fields. Selected students must be available to 
work 10 consecutive weeks at 40 hours per week during the summer, 
under the supervision of a NASA technical mentor. 



At the completion of the research session, each student must submit a 
paper on their NASA USRP research experience. Students may also be 
asked to discuss their research in public forums and/or participate 
in NASA-sponsored colloquia, workshops and technology demonstrations. 




Final deadline to apply for internship opportunities under the USRP 
program is Jan. 31, 2007.



USRP applications are available online at 
http://www.vsgc.odu.edu/Menu3_1_3.htm



Students interested in participating in the USRP at Stennis Space 
Center may contact Joy Smith, program manager, at 228-688-2118 or
