The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in partnership with Office of Minority Economic Impact (OMEI) and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is now accepting applications for the Faculty-Applied Clean Collaborations in Energy Sciences (FACES) program. The goal of the FACES program is to empower science technology, engineering, and math (STEM) faculty from non-R1 level institutions by equipping them with enhanced research skills and expertise in energy science. The FACES program is open to associatesbaccalaureatemasters, and R2 doctoral granting institutions.

FACES is a 10-week summer program that provides faculty with the opportunity to collaborate with NREL researchers and develop scalable education modules on topics like energy cost reduction strategies, energy science, grid reliability and security, and artificial intelligence. The first eight weeks will be spent at NREL in an immersive environment with an NREL staff researcher/mentor. The final two weeks will be conducted virtually to prepare a final deliverable. A Customized Learning Solution (CLS) will be the culminating milestone of the research experience with the intent for your hosting NREL PI to travel to your institution and deliver the CLS to your class.
