The NASA Academy Application deadline is January 28. Apply now at http://www.AcademyApp.com.
The Academies are intensive educational programs which emphasize group activities, teamwork, research, leadership and creativity. The curriculum balances direct contact with science and engineering R&D with an awareness of the managerial, political, financial, social and human issues faced by aerospace professionals. Included are seminars, informal discussions, evening lectures, supervised research, visits to other NASA Centers and facilities, group project/s, tours, posters/presentations, and assessment. Additionally, most weekends are filled with group activities, team building and off-site trips. One free weekend is scheduled.
The Academy is not a 9-5 summer research internship program. It is a rigorous, immersive experience that will challenge you and push you outside of your comfort zones. It offers participants an intense learning experience that is either Space- or Aeronautics-based. All academy students will be immersed in a NASA environment where they will experience the agency from both inside and outside perspectives. Additionally, added interaction with NASA collaborators in industry and academia will provide unique, exciting and unforgettable summer experience designed to engage and capture students within the NASA family.
The Academies have separate focus areas: Space/Aerospace (NASA Academy), Robotics, Aeronautics, and Propulsion.
The deadline is January 28, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
You may access it at http://AcademyApp.com

FYI
1. We plan to offer a summer research program for undergraduate students (June 3 - July 26, 2013), and I hope you can share this information with students and encourage them to consider applying for it. The web page is:
It may still contain last year's information at the moment, but should be updated very soon to invite new applicants for 2013. The application deadline will be mid-March, similar to last year's. Please note that U.S. citizenship is not required for this program.
2. Of course, we're always seeking promising graduate school candidates who want to learn more about atmospheric and planetary science. We maintain a couple of websites, one devoted primarily to the academic department:
http://science.hamptonu.edu/aps/
And one (also about to be overhauled) devoted to our research projects:
The summer program has been our best recruiting tool (students get to know us + we get to know them), but I want to make sure that students at quality programs know that we exist, however I can reach them. So if you have seminar openings in the future, please let me know - I or one of my colleagues might be able to visit and talk about both the summer and graduate programs.
Thanks a lot, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Rob Loughman

Dear SPS Advisor,
We are soliciting applications for the Idaho State University Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Summer Program in Nuclear Physics, Radiobiology, Chemistry, Anthropology, and Nuclear Engineering. This NSF-sponsored program immerses undergraduate students in active research projects where each student is engaged in hands-on research from a variety of areas in Nuclear Science. For 10 weeks, these students will be partnered with faculty and graduate students from the Idaho Accelerator Center, the Departments of Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Anthropology, and Nuclear Engineering at Idaho State University. If convenient, please forward this announcement to your colleagues and students in these areas. The program encompasses a lecture series on advanced topics in physics as well as participant presentations. A stipend of $4840, room and board, travel reimbursement, and $250 to support travel to a professional science conference during the year following the REU experience are provided. Participants will enjoy the chance to explore the natural playground found in and around Pocatello, Idaho, which is located in Eastern Idaho not far from both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Organized activities for REU students include whitewater rafting, camping, and hiking. If you know of any promising students who could benefit from a summer of applied nuclear research, please inform them of our program or forward this email and attached poster to them. We especially welcome applications from women and students from minority groups. More information, application materials, and a higher resolution copy of our poster are available at http://www.physics.isu.edu/internships/reu.html.
Thank you for your time and consideration. -Steve
