Summer 2022 NJIT High School Summer Research Internship Program

Program Website: https://research.njit.edu/forstudents

Application Deadline: April 25, 2022

We are pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Summer 2022 High School Summer Internship (HSSRI) program. The HSSRI program gives rising high school juniors and seniors an excellent opportunity to engage in collegiate level research projects under the supervision and guidance of NJIT faculty. The high school summer research internship program requires a commitment of 6 weeks.  The highly competitive program is designed to inspire the students to appreciate the value of discovery and innovation with the ultimate objective of encouraging them to pursue a career in science and lifelong learning.  At the end of their internships, students will submit a research report outlining their results and present an electronic poster at the HSSRI Symposium describing their project and outcomes to faculty and their peers.

For additional information about the HSSRI program, please click on the program details here. Interested high school students should submit the application package that includes the completed application form, internet release form, and medical and emergency form. Applications should be submitted to hssri@njit.edu.  The deadline to submit applications is April 25, 2022. Students will be notified by May 17, 2022. Please contact hssri@njit.edu for any questions.

New Tech Budget Request is the Defense Department’s Largest Ever Efforts to outpace China are driving up the share of Pentagon spending devoted to emerging science and technology, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said Monday.  The Biden administration is requesting $130 billion for the department’s research, engineering, development, and testing for 2023, nearly 10 percent up from last year’s request. Of that, $16.5 billion will go toward emerging science and technology. The budget request will establish the Office of the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence officer, which will oversee the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, the Defense Digital Service, an expansion of Project Maven, and the Artificial Intelligence Data Accelerator program, among other endeavors. It also allocates $250 million for continued 5G experimentation, with test and evaluation for AI.  This president’s request will be the first to fund the Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve, a core focus of Defense Undersecretary for Research and Engineering Heidi Shyu, who has sought to field new, experimental technology in the hands of troops sooner, to facilitate better design and quicker deployment. More information is posted on the NextGov website.

Biden Requests Significant IT, Cyber Investment Increases for 2023: President Joe Biden’s fiscal year 2023 budget request seeks $65 billion for civilian federal agencies—an 11% increase over the $58.4 billion requested last year—as well as a significant increase in cybersecurity spending. Released Monday, the budget request seeks $10.9 billion in cybersecurity spending for non-defense agencies, an 11% increase over the $9.8 billion last year. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency would benefit from that spending increase, with a proposed budget of $2.5 billion for 2023, a nearly $500 million increase from its current budget. More information is posted on the NextGov website.

New Data-Sharing Requirements from the National Institutes of Health are a Big Step Toward More Open Science – and Potentially Higher-Quality Research: Starting on Jan. 25, 2023, many of the 2,500 institutions and 300,000 researchers that the U.S. National Institutes of Health supports will need to provide a formal, detailed plan for publicly sharing the data generated by their research. For many in the scientific community, this new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy sounds like a no-brainer.

The incredibly quick development of rapid tests and vaccines for COVID-19 demonstrate the success that can follow the open sharing of data within the research community. The importance and impact of that data even drove a White House Executive Order mandating that “the heads of all executive departments and agencies” share “COVID-19-related data” publicly last year. More information is posted on the NextGov website.

Question:       How do I enter a cost share? For my salary? For other personnel and expenses?

Answer:         Cost Share for personnel other than faculty is very similar to release time –

• add the person under Key personnel
• select the period (start and end dates) that the staff/admin will be devoted to the project
• select percentage.
