The NASA-USRP consists of a 10–15 week research experience at a participating NASA Center under the supervision of a NASA technical mentor. Selected students must be available to work 10 consecutive weeks at 40 hours per week during a Summer session (dates to be determined by Centers between late May 2002 and mid-August 2002).
