NASA SPACE RADIATION SUMMER SCHOOL AT THE BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY
The NASA Space Radiation Summer School (“NSRSS”) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory is designed to provide a “pipeline” of researchers to tackle the challenges of harmful radiation exposure to humans who will travel on space exploration missions. Co-sponsored by NASA’s Space Radiation Research Program, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Universities Space Research Association, the three-week course has been offered each summer for nine years through an open and increasingly competitive application process.
Application to the program is open to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty with an interest in radiation biology. Both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens may apply to the program. Due to the intense nature of the course, applicants must demonstrate oral and written proficiency in the English language. All selected students must satisfy Brookhaven National Laboratory and Department of Energy safety and security requirements in order to be admitted.
