After you have completed your application, you may want to reach out via email (use the Find People or Our People links at www.ornl.gov to obtain the email address) to the researchers you identify and let them know about your interest for the summer and why you would be a good fit for that researcher’s projects and the division. Showing initiative through this connection process and discussing your passion for science and research and how it relates to what is happening at ORNL is a great way for you to introduce yourself to potential mentors. You should reference the ORNL research you have done as well as your background and interest in these emails and in appropriate application questions and essays. For pool-based programs such as HERE, this personal connection is the key to “standing out” from the hundreds of applications received each cycle.
