The Research Council, through its Associateship Programs Office, conducts three national competitions to [ecommend and make awards to outstanding scientists and engineers at the recent postdoctoral and experienced senior levels to conduct research as guest scientists at the participating laboratories. These programs have been conducted on behalf of a number of föderal agencies since 1954. The objectives of the program are (1) to provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the sponsoring laboratories and (2) to contribute thereby to the overall efforts of the federal laboratories. For recent doctoral graduates, the programs provide an opportunity for concentrated research in association with selected members of the permanent professional laboratory staff, often as a climax to formal career preparation. For established scientists and engineers, the program affords an opportunity for research without the interruptions and distracting assignments of permanent career positions. The participating laboratories receive a stimulus to their programs by the presence of bright, highly motivated doctoral graduates or senior investigators with established records of research productivity. Now ideas, techniques, and approaches to problems contribute to the overall research climato of the laboratories. Indirectly, Associateships also make available to the broader scientific and engineering communities the excellent and often unique research facilities that exist in fedoral laboratories.
