Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP)

The Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP) enhances a graduate student's research skills by enabling the student to collaborate with a Brookhaven National Laboratory scientist to conduct research on a mutually agreed-upon project. This opportunity may lead to scientific publications and may support a graduate thesis or dissertation. The program requires the participant to have their own source of funding or a hosting BNL researcher that has agreed to provide funding.

Program Overview

The GRIP program provides students with an authentic research opportunity that includes:  

• Spending up to three months with an assigned Brookhaven Lab researcher with the option to continue the project during subsequent semesters
• Conducting research on scheduled days to avoid conflicts with course work at the home institution 
• Funding for this program will be provided by a graduate student home institution

Student Deliverables

• Research paper
• Scientific poster for presentation 
• Presentation to peers
• Final experience report
