The NRT is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graduate and undergraduate students can win up to $1,000 by creating a 60 \u2013 90 second video detailing why scientific research matters for our future. Contact Geeta Dutta<\/a> for more assistance. Learn more about the video challenge.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program<\/a> recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based Master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships is seeking applicants for the 2020-21 fellowship year. Gain hands-on policy experience, help develop and execute solutions to address societal challenges, and join a strong corps of over 3,000 influential alumni. Seeking candidates with strong STEM credentials, an interest in career transformation, and a desire to enhance federal policy. Washington-based fellowships available in all three branches of federal government. Apply today!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Center for Produce Safety<\/a> prioritizes research programs that support the development of solutions for critical industry produce safety needs across the entire supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SCGSR program<\/a> supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory\/facility in collaboration with a lab scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive months\u2014with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The JUMP into STEM<\/a> initiative seeks to inspire the next generation of building scientists, focusing on creative ideation and diversity in the building science field. Undergrad and grad students could win a 2020 paid summer internship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory or the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Washington Building, ground floor entrance Facilities Services asks that all students, faculty and staff be properly prepared for winter driving and walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please wear proper winter footwear with good traction soles. Yak Tracks are a good option for slick conditions but please don\u2019t wear them inside buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are driving on campus, please have the proper snow and ice traction tires on your vehicle. Most vehicle incidents during the winter are due to improper tires on the vehicles involved. We would like to remind everyone that parking areas will be plowed after hours when the vehicles are gone. Generally parking lots are not plowed until there is three inches of snow accumulation. We do pile snow and haul it away but it takes days to clear every location so please be patient. It is not possible to have all streets, roads, sidewalks and stairs free of snow and ice at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have concerns about an area or see problems with ice or snow, please let us know- call 509-335-9000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Environmental Health and Safety encourages all WSU employees to complete the training requirements identified by SPPM 2.18<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following training required for all employees may be on found Human Resource Services\u2019 Learning and Organizational Development<\/a> webpage: Back Safety and Injury Prevention; Slips, Trips and Falls; Emergency and Fire Preparedness; Portable Fire Extinguisher Safety \u2013 Sign up for an initial hands-on training with Darren Jones, WSU\u2019s Fire Safety Officer; Personal Protective Equipment Fundamentals; Office Ergonomics; and Asbestos Awareness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EAP Frontline October newsletter<\/a> offers a variety of tips and suggestions on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle both at home and within the workplace.
