vironmental sciences, and related dis
ciplines are eligible to apply for the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
Alexander Hollander Postdoctoral Fel
lowship Program sponsored by the
DOE Office of Health and Environ
ment Research (OHER). The program

stitute for Science and Education
(ORISE).
Each fellowship is served for one
year and is renewable for up to one ad

for the first year and $40,500 for the
second. Fellows are also eligible for
limited reimbursements to cover medi
cal insurance and inbound moving ex
penses. Research topics include envi
ronmental processes, human genome
research, physical and technological,
and applications of energy sciences
and technology. Fellowships can be
served at any national laboratory, uni
versity, or private facility as long as
the proposed advisor is flinded either
by OHER. Up to five fellowships will
be awarded this year.
The program was established in
memory of the late Dr. Alexander
Hollander, the 1983 recipient of
DOE’s Enrico Fermi Award and
former director of the Biology Divi
sion and Oak Ridge National Labora
tory. Hollander is known for his out
standing contributions to biological
research as well as his support of edu
cation and training. Since its incep
tion in 1986, the Hollander program
has awarded nearly 70 fellowships.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or
permanent residents at the time of ap
plication and must have received the

FSU Math/Science Center
Receives Two New Grants
Totaling $85,000
Fayetteville, NC, October 19,1995-
-FSU will receive $50,000 over a four-
year period in a Consortium Network
Resource and Training Site (NRTS),
one of six minority institution partici
pants in a NASA grant.. The training
is designed to stimulate the use of the
Internet and research via computer
networks for science, math, engineer
ing and technology.
Objectives of the NASA NTRS
project are to produce competent pro
grammers in x-windows and MS win
dows, to provide Internet navigation
through different platforms, to enhance
the Math/Science Education Center’s
capability to provide services available
on the superhighway to precollege
youngsters, to prepare competitive stu
dents to enter graduate programs in
science and technology, and to expand
the research resources available to fac
ulty members.
In addition to the NASA grant. The
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill has awarded the FSU Math/Sci
ence Education Center $34,978 to con
duct an Elementary Intech Project to
“train trainers,, of technology for math
and science integrated instruction in
the southeastem region of North Caro
lina. The project is intended for teach
ers in grades K-6 to be trained as
“trainers,, or “Teacher Leaders.,,
The goal of the FSU Intech project
is to develop math/science specialists
prepared to offer elementary teachers
assistance as they integrate technology
into the math and science instruction.
To achieve this goal, the FSU Math/
Science Education Center will work
closely with the Miami Museum,
South Eastern Regional Vision for
Education (SERVE), and local school
districts (public and private) that will
