Frequently Asked Questions 1. If you applied last year and your resume has not changed, you do not have to send another copy of your resume. However, you must e-mail your application information again. When Battelle contacts the agencies in the Fall to verify participation and research interests, the agencies ususally do not know how much funding will be available in the Spring to hire an SFRE Program applicant.
Agencies are still encouraged to participate, however, in the event funds become available.
Because the issue of funding is tentative, it's difficult to say how many SFRE Program applicants will be selected in any given year. Generally, the agencies are impressed with the quality of the applicants, and the lack of funds is the only reason not to select a candidate. It's after April 30, and I haven't heard anything. If you have not heard anything from Battelle, it is likely that the laboratory has not made their decision on whom to hire. As soon as an agency makes the final selections, Battelle will notify all of the applicants who applied to that agency.
