DOE’s Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) Program Accepting Applications for the 2021 Summer Term

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program is now accepting applications for the 2021 Summer Term. The program aims to encourage undergraduate students and recent graduates to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at DOE laboratories. Last summer, the program supported 765 students serving across 17 national laboratories.

ASME has is a stanch advocate for DOE national laboratories and supports the advancement of all research support by the DOE Office of Science. ASME has long advocated for maintenance of a balanced portfolio of energy technologies to meet the nation’s growing energy needs in an environmentally sustainable way. For Fiscal Year 2021, ASME recommends that Congress funds the DOE Office of Science at at least $7.4 billion. This level of funding would enable Office of Science to support a diverse portfolio of research at DOE’s 17 national laboratories and at colleges and universities nationwide - supporting approximately 22,000 Ph.D. scientists, engineers, graduate students, undergraduates and technical personnel at more than 300 institutions across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The SULI program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in collaboration with the DOE laboratories/facilities. Applications are due January 12, 2021. For information on how to apply, please visit: https://science.osti.gov/wdts/suli/How-to-Apply.
