  4. Doing Research with JPL • JPL provides a number of opportunities to encourage and facilitate collaborations with the academic community, with the emphasis on identifying and nurturing grass-roots research collaborations. • A precursor to many of these opportunities is establishing a connection with a JPL researcher and developing the genesis of a new collaboration, or plans to enhance an existing one. • This can be followed by an application for seed funding to take the first steps in a joint effort, or in some cases a proposal to an external agency for funding (for larger proposals, JPL can sometimes provide “Bid and Proposal” funds). • The various funding opportunities are initiated by a JPL researcher, who can respond to proposal calls throughout the year.

  5. Students and Research at JPL • A key part of JPL’s interaction with academia involves engaging students in research. This is done via the awards above, and also via internships. • JPL hosts around 700 interns per year in for both summer and year-round internships, and including both undergraduate and graduate students. • Proposals for Spring internships are accepted starting in the fall, with due dates dependent on the program • http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/education/internships/

  6. JPL-Cornell joint courses • JPL researchers can be funded under SURP to come to Cornell. • Expectation is that these visits will be not only for research, but also joint teaching of courses.

  7. Ways to make Cornell’s SURP a success • Be discerning about what is and is not a suitable opportunity for partnering under SURP: • Know JPL http://www.jpl.nasa.gov • Know SURP http://surp.jpl.nasa.gov • Recognize that, even though we are now in a special group, access to funds is still competitive • SURP efforts work best where students are involved, through visits, joint courses, recruitment

  8. Please keep Mark Campbell and/or Jonathan Lunine informed of your SURP-related efforts so that we can track the total Cornell SURP-related efforts.Jonathan Lunine jil45Mark Campbellmc288 Neil Murphy at JPL. <Neil.Murphy@jpl.nasa.gov>
