    Applications for awards are reviewed by panels
    of distinguished scientists and engineers
    representing the disciplines of Chemistry;
    Earth, Atmospheric and Space Sciences;
    Engineering, Applied Science, and
    Mathematics; Life Sciences; and Physics.
    Awards are made based on ranking assigned
    by the review panel.
    Prospective applicants should refer to the
    NRC Website at www.nationalacademies.
    org/rap for specific information.

    level stipends begin at $30,000 and are higher for
    additional experience. In addition, the NRC provides health insurance, relocation benefits and
    an allowance for professional travel. The host
    laboratory provides research facilities, equipment and funding for supplies to support the
    Associates research.
