UAF students Ayman Eltahir and Joevahnta “Nalugalria” Usugan-Weddington releasing a weather balloon from Utopia, Texas, during the April 8, 2024, total eclipse as part of the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project.
Faculty! If you have a NASA-relevant project idea and want to foster students to assist your future research efforts, consider applying for an Early Career Research Apprenticeship.
Faculty members develop a project and select up to two students for whom this would be their first substantial research and/or engineering experience. The students will receive a $3,650 stipend for 200 hours of effort directly from Alaska Space Grant Program.
Applications are due Sept. 15.
Not space-related? Don’t be discouraged! Besides aerospace, NASA finds relevance in all sorts of earth science, biology and other STEM fields. A good place to find NASA relevance is the reviewing NASA’s Strategic Plan and NASA Technology Taxonomy.
