Grant Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Ground Water and Ecosystem Restoration Division (GWERD) is located in Ada, OK and is the site of the Environmental Research Apprenticeship Program for Pre-Baccalaureate College Students (ERAP). This Request for Applications (RFA) seeks institutions of higher education and other non-profit organizations to implement an apprenticeship program for up to 15 pre-baccalaureate college students. This program provides undergraduate students with year-round research opportunities that allow students to relate hands-on research experience with formal academic studies. It also provides invaluable experience regarding the relevance of academic training to the conduct of research. It is intended that the research experience be gained through a mentoring relationship with a Senior Ground Water and Ecosystem Restoration Division (GWERD) scientist working in a fully operational federal research laboratory. This program provides direct benefit to the academic community and the general public by increasing both the effectiveness and pool of available environmental scientists for the future.
