Faculty and Student Teams (FaST)
The Department Of Energy's national program
entitled the Faculty and Student Teams Program (FaST)
offers faculty and student team appointments for the summer
semester.
Selected faculty and student participants will be
associated with members of the Brookhaven National Laboratory
scientific and professional staff in an educational training
program developed to give research experience in areas of
chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, nuclear medicine,
applied mathematics, high- and low-energy particle accelerators,
and science writing.
Fast at BNL
At BNL, the objective of this program is to build research capacity and
other resources for colleges and universities. The program reaches out to
faculty and students form institutions that have not done business with
DOE-SC and provides them with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to
compete for future research funding.

A FaST appointment will include features which
have been the mainstay of BNL's Undergraduate Summer Programs
since 1952:
- You will participate
in a cutting-edge scientific research program, directed by a
BNL researcher. The research project is mutually agreed-upon
by the faculty and researcher prior to the team arrival at BNL.
- As a major user facility, BNL attracts visiting scientists
and University faculty
from across the US and the world. Like them, you will be treated
as colleagues
in your research group and a full member of the BNL community -
able, as time
permits, to attend or take part in scientific seminars, visit major
BNL facilities,
and interact casually with other undergraduates, graduate students,
post-doctoral fellows, researchers, and technical staff, as well as your immediate
research group. You may also participate in a wide variety of recreational activities
available to Laboratory employees.
- FaST students will have the
opportunity to present their research results verbally and/or in
writing; their work will appear at a poster session to which the
Laboratory community is invited. Your research paper may appear in
the DOE scientific journal for undergraduate students. Goals of FaST at BNL are to offer a specific learning
experience for students, and a sustainable relationship between
faculty and BNL researchers for future collaborative efforts.
- For all non-local
students, dormitory-style single-room (air-conditioned) housing will be available on BNL's 5000 acre site.
