Oak Ridge Associated Universities:
Since 2004, students and faculty of Arkansas State University
have benefited from its membership in Oak Ridge Associated
Universities (ORAU). ORAU is a consortium of 91 colleges and
universities and a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. ORAU works with its
member institutions to help theirstudents and faculty gain
access to federal research facilities throughout the country; to
keep its members informed about opportunities for fellowship,
scholarship, and research appointments; and to organize research
alliances among its members.
Through the Oak Ridge Institute for
Science and Education (ORISE), the DOE facility that ORAU
operates, undergraduates, graduates, postgraduates, as well as
faculty enjoy access to a multitude of opportunities for study
and research. Students can participate in programs covering a
wide variety of disciplines including business, earth sciences,
epidemiology, engineering, physics, geological sciences,
pharmacology, ocean sciences, biomedical sciences, nuclear
chemistry, and mathematics. Appointment and programlength range
from one month to four years. Many of these programs are
especially designed to increase the numbers of underrepresented
minority students pursuing degrees in science- and
engineering-related disciplines. A comprehensive listing of
these programs and other opportunities, their disciplines, and
details on locations and benefits can be found in the ORISE
Catalog of Education and Training Programs, which is available
at http://www.orau.gov/orise/educ.htm, or by calling either of
the contacts below.
ORAU's Office of Partnership Development
seeks opportunities for partnerships and alliances among ORAU's
members, private industry, and major federal facilities.
Activities include faculty development programs, such as the
Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Awards, the Visiting
Industrial Scholars Program, consortium research funding
initiatives, faculty research and support programs as well as
services to chief research officers.
