WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley announced today that Iowa State University has received a competitive grant totaling $7,665 from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology through the 2009 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program.
“These funds will provide a great experience for an Iowa State student to help conduct research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology laboratory,” Grassley said.
Iowa State University will use the funds to support a summer undergraduate research fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program brings undergraduate students to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland for 12 weeks to help contribute to an ongoing research project under the guidance of a National Institute of Standards and Technology scientist or engineer.
