The Portz Fellowship program was launched in 2010 and is supported by the John and
Edythe Portz Interdisciplinary Research Fellowship. It is intended to support creative
and innovative endeavors that cross boundaries, inviting application from individuals
who wish to undertake cross disciplinary research or from a team of two students
from different disciplines who propose a single collaborative project. The project
will be funded for a period of up to 18 months.
Honors students in good standing from 2-year colleges or 4-year colleges and universities
with current Institutional membership in NCHC may apply at any point in their undergraduate
studies. In addition to two letters of recommendation from faculty members, an
endorsement from the institutional representative named in the NCHC membership
is required. Only
ONE PROPOSAL per year from each member institution is permitted.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking enthusiastic undergraduate students to apply to the agency’s premier Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program. The SURF Program will be administered virtually with program dates of May 23, 2022 to August 5, 2022. Note: Participants will not travel to the NIST laboratories to conduct research in the 2022 SURF Program. Therefore, the fellowship does not include support for travel or lodging.
Since 1993, SURF students from across the country have had the opportunity to gain valuable, hands-on experience, working with cutting edge technology in one of the world's leading research organizations and home to three Nobel Prize winners. The mission of the SURF Program is to inspire undergraduate students to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through a unique research experience that supports the NIST mission.
