A complete application consists of:

• All required fields in both the profile and application form of the Zintellect online applicant portal
• Academic records showing the equivalent of at least one year of full-time graduate school attendance prior to Fall 2017.
• A complete academic transcript of Undergraduate degree must be provided. Academic records must include the name of the academic institution, name of the student, completed coursework, and grades.  Unofficial transcripts or copies of the student academic records printed by the applicant or by academic advisors from internal institutional systems may be submitted.
• Selected candidates must provide copies of official transcripts before the appointment can start.
• Proof of full-time enrollment and courses taken during the Fall 2017 term. If this information is missing from the academic record, additional documentation will be required.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) aims to provide opportunities to enrich the training of graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences through the provision of an NSF DMS summer research internship program.  The internships are aimed at students who are interested in understanding the application of advanced mathematical and statistical techniques to "real world" problems, regardless of whether the student plans to pursue an academic or nonacademic career. 

Applicants will select their primary and secondary area of interest from the following list of disciplinary areas of the mathematical sciences supported by the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences. 

• Algebra and Number Theory
• Analysis
• Applied Mathematics
• Combinatorics
• Computational Mathematics
• Foundations
• Geometric Analysis
• Mathematical Biology
• Probability
• Statistics
• Topology

Applicants are encouraged to review the information about DMS research areas at https://www.nsf.gov/funding/programs.jsp?org=DMS

Length and Location of Appointment

Internship appointments are 10 consecutive weeks on site at the assigned hosting facility between the months of April and September. Applicants may propose up to three domestically based facilities offering an internship for doctoral students in the Mathematical Sciences. Facilities may include federal national laboratories and other non-university research facilities in industry, non-profit organizations, and government.

Conditions of the Internship

• U.S. citizenship is not required for participation in the program.  However, depending on the internship assignment, U.S. citizenship, permanent residence, J1 visa, or F1 visa may be required.  For non-U.S. citizens, internships are contingent upon having a valid immigration status. ORISE will work with participants to determine eligibility. 
• Participants are required to have health insurance coverage during the internship period and provide proof of coverage prior to the start of the internship.
