Certification:

I certify that I am at least 18 years of age and a US citizen, and am currently enrolled as a student in a degree seeking undergraduate program in a STEM field at an accredited Minority Serving Institution (MSI).

The Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP) Internships is a new program to promote the education and development of the next generation workforce in critical science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) related disciplines that complement current and future missions of DOE national laboratories.  The MSIPP Internship program is designed to provide an enhanced training environment for next generation scientists and engineers by exposing them to research challenges unique to our industry. 

MSIPP Interns will be given the opportunity to complete Summer Internships aligned with ongoing U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) research under the direction of a host national laboratory.  The internship will be performed at the host national laboratory, utilizing their facilities and equipment under the guidance of a research staff member.

Minority Serving Institutions are institutions of higher education enrolling populations with significant percentages of undergraduate minority students. 

Project: Performance and program metrics are very important in tracking leading and lagging indicators for the continued success and growth of the Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP). The MSIPP summer intern position will collect and analyze past and present data for the development of metrics utilizing Microsoft Excel and Word documents. Build databases and spreadsheets to support various activities of the MSIPP program management. The intern will collaborate with various MSI PIs and Universities for information to support MSIPP Competitive Research Award contracts.

Salary: Selected candidate will be compensated by either a stipend or salary, and may include one round trip domestic travel to and from the host laboratory. Stipends and salaries will be commensurate with cost of living at the location of the host laboratory. Housing information will be provided to interns prior to arrival at the host laboratory, and will vary from lab to lab.
