Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) Program

Are you an undergraduate student or recent graduate who is ready to use your major in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) field or science policy to help make a difference in the world? Then the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) is for you!

When you join SULI, you’ll be part of a Department of Energy (DOE) team that’s working together to advance scientific impact and discovery. Expand your skills and knowledge at a DOE national laboratory using state-of-the-art facilities and advanced scientific instruments.

DOE’s RENEW Initiative to Support Five Pathway Summer Schools

A total of 165 students will spend next summer learning, networking, and conducting scientific research at seven of the nation’s national laboratories via funding from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) initiative.

All of the students are in high school, are recent high school graduates, or early undergraduate students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). They will be participating in the RENEW Pathways Summer School (PSS) program. The PSS program, sponsored by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) at the Office of Science, works to diversify the STEM talent pool via hands-on learning opportunities and inclusive mentorship at DOE national laboratories and user facilities.

“A diverse workforce now and into the future is absolutely essential if we are going to solve the huge scientific challenges we are facing,” said Harriet Kung, Acting Director of the DOE Office of Science. “These pathway summer schools are a wonderful and innovative way to bring talented young individuals into our nation’s scientific powerhouses, our national laboratories. The goal is that they will see the many different opportunities available and avenues to pursue a career in science.”

The awards will go to the following labs:
Argonne National Laboratory: A Taste of Technical Roles: A Community College Pathway Summer School
Brookhaven National Laboratory and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility: Big Data Science and Applications Summer School at Brookhaven and Jefferson Labs
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory: Fermilab Program for Research, Innovation, and STEM Mentorship
Los Alamos National Laboratory: BEAM: Bridging Education in Optics and Applied STEM
National Renewable Energy Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory: NREL-SLAC Pathway Summer School: Exploring Chemistry, Transforming Communities

The programs above will likely be open to SULI students this summer! Watch a video of past Summer School students talking about their experiences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0PczMXI0ss.
