About ORISE - DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory Research Participation Programs
DOE NETL Research Participation Programs offer internships, postdoctoral fellowships, and faculty research experiences in energy and environmental research at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory.
Benefits of ORISE - DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory Research Participation Programs
- Stipend – All internship programs provide a weekly stipend based upon academic classification and experience.
- Insurance – Insurance is a requirement for the Professional Internship Program.
- Inbound/Outbound Travel – Awards are made on a case-by-case basis. To qualify, your residence must be more than 50 miles from the laboratory.
- On-station Travel – Classified as travel during your appointment, on-station travel is designed to enhance your learning experience by promoting attendance at conferences, workshops, and other educational meetings. Awards are made on a case-by-case basis. Most short-term (e.g., summer) appointments do not qualify for on-station travel.
ORISE - DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory Research Participation Programs Requirements
