From: Jessie M. Bethly Betz [mailto:jmbb3@xxxxxxx]<mailto:[mailto:jmbb3@xxxxxxx]> Subject: NASA Internship Opportunity Importance: High Do you know anyone that might be interested? Dear Faculty: NASA is opening its DEVELOP internship program application period for the Summer Session. The NASA DEVELOP National Program fosters an interdisciplinary research environment for interns to work on applied science research projects under the guidance of NASA and partner science advisors. DEVELOP is unique in that interns lead research projects that focus on utilizing NASA Earth observations to address community concerns and public policy issues. With the competitive nature and growing societal role of science and technology in today’s global workplace, DEVELOP is fostering an adept corps of tomorrow’s scientists and leaders. I have attached the application form for dissemination to your students. Internship opportunities are available during the spring, summer, and fall. Applications are encouraged from students interested in science, technology, and policy, age 16 and older, and enrolled in a U.S. accredited school.
