US Environmental Protection Agency - National Network for Environmental Management Studies (NNEMS) Fellowship Program

Students who are awarded NNEMS fellowships are offered a unique opportunity to gain research and training experience directly linked to their undergraduate or graduate studies. NNEMS fellows conduct research projects to augment their academic studies, which EPA supports with financial assistance.

Each year, the NNEMS program offers approximately 50 to 60 research projects, developed and sponsored by EPA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and in EPA's ten regional offices throughout the U.S. The projects are specifically narrow in scope, allowing students to complete the research project while working full-time at EPA during the summer or part-time during the school year.

Recipients of NNEMS fellowships receive a stipend based on the student's level of education and the duration and location of the project.

Details about the NNEMS program, pdf brochure and forms, are provided at http://www.epa.gov/enviroed/NNEMS/
