Research Internships in Science and Engineering Program

Graduate Student Summer Internship Opportunities

INTEL- India and HP-India

Administered by ORAU

The Research Internship in Science and Engineering (RISE) is limited to 
the top U.S. students in a broad array of science and engineering 
disciplines. Each internship is from 3-6 months and all selected 
participants will receive housing (or housing allowance), roundtrip 
transportation to India, and monthly stipend.  Eligibility is limited to 
US Citizens who are graduate students in science, technology, 
engineering or medical disciplines.

Twelve specific projects are listed below for HP-India and Intel-India.  
Students interested in the opportunities below should submit an 
application by March 27, 2009.  Visit our website 
<http://rise.orau.org>http://rise.orau.org for application and contact 
information.  (Applications will also be accepted for other areas of 
research until the deadline.)

The Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and Oak Ridge 
Associated Universities (ORAU) manage the RISE program. RISE provides 
opportunities for American graduate students to conduct research in 
India and for American institutions to host Indian graduate students and 
faculty in the U.S.
