Space Weather Phenomena, Consequences, and Modeling or Reality, Harsh Reality, and Virtual Reality
July 18 - July 29, 2011, Boston University

This year the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM) Summer School will be held at Boston University, July 18 – July 29, 2011. The two-week school will closely follow the model of the previous successful Summer Schools, which comprehensively immersed students in the subject of space weather, what it is, what it does, and what can be done about it. The CISM summer school supplements standard curricula relating to the physics, "meteorology", and "climatology" of space with integrated overviews of the solar-terrestrial weather system from the Sun to the earth, its effects and consequences, and the state of the art in modeling it.

The objective of this STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) research fellowship opportunity is to encourage talented individuals to pursue careers in the aerospace industry that support NASA's mission. The Virginia Space Grant Consortium provides graduate research fellowships in the amount of $5,000 to supplement and enhance basic graduate support. Graduate Research Fellowships require that students participate in an active faculty mentored research experience that aligns with the aerospace sector and meets NASA's mission. Awards are made annually and are renewable for one year for students making satisfactory academic and research progress.

VSGC also offers a scholarship program for undergraduates.

Deadline for Application is February 7, 2011

This is a reminder that the deadline of February 1st 2011 for the ROSES 2010 NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship Program Solicitation is approaching. This call for graduate fellowship proposals, entitled NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF) Program - 2011/2012 Academic Year, solicits applications from accredited U.S. Universities on behalf of individuals pursuing Masters or Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Earth and space sciences, or related disciplines, at respective institutions. The purpose of NESSF is to ensure continued training of a highly qualified workforce in disciplines needed to achieve NASA's scientific goals.
