General Information

NIST’s Professional Research and Experience Program (PREP) provides valuable laboratory experience and financial assistance to researchers at various stages of their studies and careers. This official collaboration between participating universities and NIST aims to provide research opportunities to students and graduates. 

Researchers from various academic departments apply for PREP appointments. In return, NIST researchers have access to students, recent grads, postdocs, senior researchers, and faculty who bring new ideas and experiences that can strengthen the agency’s research programs. 

When NIST has an opportunity and funding for a researcher, NIST partners with PREP university to advertise and recruit for those roles. PREP researchers must be affiliated with a participating university. Check the website for current PREP openings.
