About ORISE
Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is operated by Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) for DOE under a “Management and Operating” contract between ORAU and DOE. Under the provisions of the ORAU/DOE contract, ORISE developed a research participation program to permit members of the academic community to be assigned to DOE facilities to participate in the research and development (R&D) work funded by DOE. The purpose of the RPP is to permit members of the academic community to have “hands-on” experience in participating in R&D activities.
ORISE Maryland
Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Research Participation Program in Maryland (ORISE Maryland) provides opportunities for members of the academic community to participate in DOD (Department of Defense) programs, projects, and activities worldwide (Joining the military is not a requirement or part of this program). Current U.S. military approved facilities include the U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC); U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Chemical Defense (USAMRICD), U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical and Biological Command (USAECBC), U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), U.S. Army Research Laboratory (USARL), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), Navy Environmental Health Center (NEHC), Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USACERL), U.S. Army Environmental Policy Institute (USAEPI), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Anniston Army Depot (AAD), and Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command/Central ID Lab, Hawaii (JPAC/CIL).
