[Bnc-faculty-all-list] SANDIA CINT Summer Research Program

[Anthrop, Heather L]

Sandia National Lab and Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) (see: https://cint.lanl.gov/) wishes to partner with Purdue to share the cost of hosting 2 Purdue students in summer 2022 for hands-on experience with world class CINT experimental facilities and subject matter experts. The purpose of this collaboration is to foster new opportunities for students and to widen the range of collaborations between Sandia staff and Purdue faculty and students. Sandia is seeking to partner with Purdue and share the $20K cost per student.

The Purdue Discovery Park Undergraduate Research Internship (DURI) (see: https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/duri/) program has grown in success since its funding in 2015.  Every year DURI solicits topics from faculty wishing to be matched with an undergrad for summer research in their lab. Students apply and the best candidates are selected for each topic. Often, DURI will adopt a special "theme" for a given summer, but will also still entertain faculty topic ideas across a wide spectrum.

We see a partnership opportunity between the Sandia CINT and DURI in which for Summer 2022 we seek two stellar ideas from interested faculty that are relevant to CINT. Students who apply would eventually be down-selected to the two students who appear most qualified and best fit from the topic and the work at CINT/Sandia in Summer 2022.

DURI would provide additional support for each of the two students, as well as i-GSDI. It is also hoped that the sponsoring faculty could (using their own funds to round out the total cost) travel out to CINT once during the summer to review the student's work and get to know CINT, Sandia, and the possibilities for further collaboration.

The attached flyer invites you to a CINT information session on 1/18/22. Sign up via the flyer's link. Timing for CINT and DURI applications are a good fit. Aside from applying via DURI, Please alert mbobillo at purdue.edu<mailto:mbobillo at purdue.edu> if you are interested in the CINT/DURI combination for one of your students.

Thank you,
