ROTATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS
AND EDUCATORS
![](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/web/20090813064749im_/http://nsf.gov/images/bluefade.jpg)
The National Science Foundation (NSF) employs scientists, engineers,
and educators on rotational assignment from academia, industry,
or other eligible organizations to further the agency's mission
of supporting our entire spectrum of science and engineering research
and education. The most frequently used programs are the Visiting
Scientist, Engineer, and Educator (VSEE) Program and the Intergovernmental
Personnel Act (IPA) Program. Both the VSEE and IPA Programs
strengthen NSF's ties with the research community and provide the
talent and resources that are critical to meeting NSF's mission.
The National Science Foundation is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC). Dual career couples, particularly in the research or higher education community, may find assistance with this service.
