The Center promotes participation in research activities from visiting scientists, postdoctoral scholars and graduate and undergraduate students. Honoraria are available for those who wish to present research seminars. Research interest may be in any of the areas described in the section on Research Opportunities. Fellowships usually are for 2 years but may be extended through extramurally funded grants.
Stipends are competitive with similar fellowships at other research universities.
Some housing is available at nominal cost at the Biological Station for students working on funded research projects. Masters programs are available through CRR's Interdisciplinary Master of Water Science and through the Departments of Biology , Chemistry , and Geosciences . Undergraduates are expected to work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the academic year with the possibility of full-time work during the summer months. Summer internships are available for undergraduates from other universities who wish to participate in Center activity. In the fall of 1999 the National Science Foundation funded a proposal by nine MSU College of Science faculty to provide research opportunities for undergraduates.
