opportunities in Gaithersburg MD, a few in Boulder CO.

Hello Susan,
Thank you for your e-mail. The SURF Program is expected to occur in 2017. The Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) must be approved before the website can be updated. We hope to have the FFO
approved by mid-November. We don’t anticipate the application process changing so students can work on the different application components (with the exception of the application itself) in advance without the approved FFO.
Also, I will update your university’s contact info soon. Thank you for the update.
Please let me know if you have additional questions. Hope to see applicants from your institution for the 2017 Program.
Best regards,
Brandi

Subject: SURF program
Hello Brandi –
I nominated two successful students for the NIST SURF program a couple of years ago. Do you anticipate having the program in 2017? I don’t seem to be listed as a school contact in your list. Would you please
add me to that list for receiving information for 2017 if/when it is available?
Thank you,
Susan
