Membership in Oak Ridge Associated Universities
Since 1955, students and faculty of the University of North Texas have benefited from UNT's membership in
Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU). ORAU is a consortium of 85 colleges and universities and a contractor for
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. ORAU works with its member institutions to
help their students and faculty gain access to federal research facilities throughout the country; to keep its members
informed about opportunities for fellowship, scholarship and research appointments; and to organize research alliances among
its members.
Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), the DOE facility that ORAU
operates, undergraduates, graduates and postgraduates, as well as faculty, enjoy access to a multitude of opportunities for
study and research. Students can participate in programs covering a wide variety of disciplines including business,
earth sciences, epidemiology, engineering, physics, geological sciences, pharmacology, ocean sciences, biomedical
sciences, nuclear chemistry, and mathematics. Appointment ad program length range from one month to four years. Many of
these programs are especially designed to increase the numbers of underrepresented minority students pursuing degrees
in science- and engineering-related disciplines. A comprehensive listing of these programs and other opportunities,
their disciplines, and details on locations and benefits can be found in the ORISE Catalog of Education and
Training Programs, which is available at http://www.orau.gov/orise/reg.htm, or by calling either of the contacts below.
ORAU's Office of Partnership Development seeks opportunities for partnerships and alliances among
ORAU's members, private industry, and major federal facilities. Activities include faculty development programs, such as
the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Awards, the Visiting Industrial Scholars Program, consortium
research funding initiatives, faculty research, and support programs as well as services to chief research officers.
For more information about ORAU programs, contact Dr. Art Goven, Interim Vice Provost for Research and
ORAU Councilor for University of North Texas at (940) 369-7487; Monnie E. Champion, ORAU Corporate Secretary, at
(865) 576-3306; or the ORAU Web site (www.orau.org).
