Homeland Security University Programs University Programs- programs to develop STEM leadership for the Nation's future security. Scholarship and Fellowship Program- support undergraduate/ graduate students pursuing degrees in HS focused courses study. Scholarship and Fellowship Program Postdoctoral Research Associates Program- one-year awards to postdoctoral scientists/engineers holding doctorate for less than five years. AAAS Fellows Program in National Defense and Global Security is one six policy fellowship programs for science and technologyAAAS Fellows Program Summer Internship Program provides undergraduate juniors/ seniors opportunity to work with HS professionals and researchers during the summer. Summer Internship Program Homeland Security Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (HS-STEM) Career Development Grants Program - institutional grants to colleges/universities to award scholarships and fellowships to students in HS-STEM disciplines. Homeland Security Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (HS-STEM) Career Development Grants Program 4/15/2010NSF, CyberInfrastructure CI-TEAM Award

Homeland Security Funding Opportunities Broad Agency Announcement -research, create, develop, deploy evaluate innovative educational tools, approaches, resources-assist with development of educated/well trained STEM workforce, representing U.S. population needed to protect USA in foreseeable future-open until February 28, MSI Community Colleges Competition - applications from CCs to establish HS-STEM Scientific Leadership Bridge Award (SLBA) Programs supporting development of HS-STEM workforce that reflects the population of the United States. Goals are: MSI Community Colleges Competition provide support to qualified pre-college or early college students interested in HS- STEM disciplines and expose these students to DHS relevant STEM issues attract and retain STEM faculty who inspire students to pursue careers in HS enable students to transition to relevant bachelor degree programs and ultimately to careers in HS-STEM fields cultivate collaborative relationships between CCs, institutional recipients of bachelors and graduate MSI Scientific Leadership Awards, DHS-sponsored Centers of Excellence, DHS-sponsored laboratories, other Federal research institutions and industry. 4/15/2010NSF, CyberInfrastructure CI-TEAM Award
