The Research and University Partnerships Office of ORAU actively works with our research staff, subject matter experts, and member universities to connect expertise with government and private sector organizations to create mutually-beneficial partnerships for innovation in scientific research and education. Through the university consortium and strategic partnerships, ORAU brings together university faculty and students to collaborate with ORAU experts on major scientific initiatives that strengthen America’s leading edge in science and technology.
Opportunities to member universities provided by ORAU include the Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Program, Events Sponsorship Program, and the ORAU-Directed Research and Development Program. In addition, ORAU administers internship and fellowship programs that link thousands of faculty and students each year with projects at national laboratories and federal research centers.
