Society’s overwhelming reliance on cyberspace has exposed its vulnerabilities. Achieving a truly secure cyberspace requires addressing both challenging scientific and engineering problems involving many components of a system, and vulnerabilities that stem from human behaviors and choices. The goals of the CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program are aligned with the U.S. National Cyber Strategy to develop a superior cybersecurity workforce.

The Innovation in Buildings (IBUILD) Graduate Research Fellowship is a new program managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The fellowship will strengthen the pool of well-trained, diverse MS and PhD scholars who are equipped for research-intensive building technologies careers across all sectors.

The Cancer Prevention Research Training Program (CPRTP) Summer Research Experience at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center provides research experience through a mentorship. Students will learn about current and innovative topics in cancer prevention at seminar.

Geography and Spatial Sciences Program's goal is to promote basic scientific research in geography and spatial science that advances theory, fundamental understanding, scientific approaches, and that addresses the challenges facing society.

he Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training. The program seeks proposals that explore ways for graduate students in research-based master’s and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers.

The NRT program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative models for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduate education training.

NASA offers an internship for students ranging from high school to graduate school where students can take on projects that are dedicated to space exploration. Interns will work with leading experts and gain valuable experience in research and mission projects.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration offers various types of research ranging from atmospheric sciences to physics. Students will have the ability to develop meaningful cross-discipline research projects with other scientists and organizations.

McNair offers support for graduate students in their studies ranging from STEM to Humanities. Some of their support opportunities are full ride scholarships, others are limited duration research internships, while some others provide a set amount of funds for a specific scholarly work.

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) provides recent graduates with challenging research opportunities to help prepare motivated students for a career in STEM while providing them with laboratory knowledge to use in pursuit of an advanced degree.

The Intelligence Community (IC) Postdoctoral Research Program is offering recent PhD graduates or doctoral students with a fellowship. The fellowship offers a competitive annual stipend and an annual travel allowance.

 The AERA Grants Program provides advanced graduate students with research funding and professional development and training. The aim of the program is to advance fundamental knowledge of relevance to STEM policy, foster significant science using education data, and build research capacity in education and learning.

The purpose of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing full-time research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education. The GRFP provides three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant research achievements in STEM or STEM education.

The Artificial Intelligence Summer Institute (AISI) is collaborating with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) scientists on solving problems of national and scientific interest, engage in educational and professional development opportunities, explore career opportunities at national laboratories, and interact with and present their research to ORNL's scientists. Students will be woking in teams to worl on a project that will help develop their scientific skills and their artificial intelligence knowledge.

The program aims to establish a national network of learning environments and resources for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. There are four tracks: Pathways, Pathways II, Services, Targeted Research.

The goal of the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is to prepare graduate students for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission, by providing graduate thesis research opportunities at DOE laboratories.

The Facebook Fellowship Program is designed to encourage and support promising doctoral students who are engaged in innovative and relevant research in areas related to computer science and engineering at an accredited university.
