QEM/NSF Talent Development and Innovation and Sciences (TDIS) Summer Internship
May 28 – August 2, 2023
Greetings!
We hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to you regarding the QEM/NSF Talent Development and Innovation and Sciences (TDIS) Internship Program. We are requesting your assistance to share this link https://form.jotform.com/QEMNetwork/2024-tdis-application with students at your institution for the 2024 QEM/NSF Talent Development and Innovation Sciences (TDIS) Summer Internship.
The ten-week, summer internship opportunity (May 28 – August 2, 2024) is made possible through a grant to the Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The internship will provide $6,000 (undergraduate) and $7,000 ( graduate) taxable stipends, payable in three installments during the summer.
Due to NSF mentors' availability, some of the selected students will be required to participate virtually only and some in-person only. QEM Network will provide housing and travel for those that are selected to participate in-person.
During the internship, students will have an opportunity to be mentored by program officers at NSF that are involved in making science policy and in implementing national programs focused on STEM. The experience is designed to increase the students understanding of how science policy is made as well as to further develop their potential for becoming leaders and proponents of increased participation in STEM by students from underrepresented minority groups.
Also, we would appreciate your printing and posting the attached flyer on your department bulletin board to further ensure that students are aware of this opportunity.
