The NASA-USRP consists of a 10–15 week research experience at a participating NASA Center under the supervision of a NASA technical mentor. Selected students must be available to work 10 consecutive weeks. Students receive a $5,000 stipend for the research experience plus one round-trip airfare or ground transportation costs to and from the NASA Host Center. A housing allowance will be provided for students at specific high cost NASA Centers. At the completion of the research session, students must submit a paper on their NASA-USRP research experience. Students may also be asked to discuss their research in public forums and/or participate in NASA-sponsored colloquia, workshops, and technology demonstrations.
For more information, and to apply for this program go to www.nasa.gov and

Caltech's Student-Faculty Programs Office provides administrative
support to the NASA USRP program. Students may live on the Caltech
campus and will join a large community of undergraduate researchers. Once they
have been selected for the NASA USRP program, students will receive information
and instructions from the SFP Office.
