Description

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) Research Participation Programs at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are educational and training programs designed to provide students and recent graduates opportunities to participate in project-specific HHS research and developmental activities at HHS facilities that are related to HHS's mission. Opportunities include full-time, part-time, and summer appointments. Limited opportunities may be available for full-time faculty who are currently employed at U.S. accredited colleges and universities; contact HHSrpp@orau.org for more information.

This program, administered by ORAU through its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, was established through an interagency agreement between DOE and HHS. Appointments can vary from three months to one year and be renewed upon recommendation of HHS, contingent on the availability of funds. The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience. Proof of health insurance is required for participation in this program. The appointments are at HHS in Washington, DC, as well as other HHS locations. Participants do not become employees of HHS, DOE or the program administrator, and there are no employment-related benefits.

For additional information, please go to http://orise.orau.gov/hhs/ or http://www.hhs.gov/.
