To ensure the robust supply of scientists and engineers to meet the U.S. Department of Defense’s future science and technology needs, the ORISE program places individuals from the academic community (students, recent graduates, and faculty) in DoD research projects. The ORISE Research Participation Programs accept applications from students, recent graduates, and faculty researchers year-round. Research appointments can vary from three months to one year and may be renewed for additional appointment terms. The program provides a salary, training, and travel allowances.
