Overview
The Associateship Programs office receives all application materials and supporting documents and conducts the competitive evaluations of applications.
Evaluations for NETL Methane Hydrates fellowships are conducted by special panels convened for this purpose. Panelists are chosen to review applications on the basis of their stature and experience in the field of Methane Hydrates and their evaluations become the basis from which awards are made on behalf of NETL.
Applicants are recommended for awards only after this open, national competition in which the panels rank candidates on the basis of quality alone.
Final ranking in order of quality and the recommendation of applicants for awards are the exclusive prerogatives of the panels, and only notification by the Associateship Programs office of an applicant's status in the competition is authoritative.
Fellows on Tenure
A fellow is a guest professional, not an employee of the National Research Council or of the laboratory or university. Fellowships are not intended to be, or to compete with, permanent professional career positions.
No commitment on the part of the fellow, the sponsoring laboratory or university, or the National Research Council with regard to later employment is implied or should be inferred by the offer or acceptance of an award.
Fellows must devote their full-time effort to the program proposed in their applications and must be in residence at the sponsoring laboratory or university during the entire period of the award. No period of tenure may be spent in residence at another laboratory or institution. Fellows are subject to the general regulations of the laboratory or university.
No additional monetary aid or other remuneration may be accepted from another appointment, fellowship, or similar grant during the period of the award.
Publication
Since a fellow’s later professional career will be judged by others, publication in the accepted open technical literature is highly encouraged.
Publications should include a statement indicating that the activity was conducted while the author held a National Research Council NETL Methane Hydrates Fellowship. Manuscripts that result from work performed at NETL must be cleared by the agency to ensure compliance with its publications policies.
Research Proposal
Each applicant must submit a research proposal delineating the Methane Hydrate research they intend to pursue at their chosen laboratory or university. The proposal must be the original work of an applicant and be approved by their proposed Adviser.
Before writing a proposal, however, an applicant is advised to communicate directly with the Adviser, who can provide more specific information on current research and available technical facilities and offer support of proposal development.
Consideration
Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, creed, color, age, sex, or national origin.
Education and Experience
Awardees must hold the appropriate prior degree for the level of fellowship they intend to pursue.
An applicant's training, professional experience, and research experience may be in any appropriate discipline or combination of disciplines required for the proposed project.
Citizenship
Opportunities for this NETL Methane Hydrates Fellowship Program are open to all citizens of the United States
Fellowship Status and Length of Tenure
Fellowships are awarded initially for one year. Fellowships can be renewed for an additional year for Master’s and postdoctoral level researchers (total tenure of two years) or an additional two years for Ph.D. level fellows (total tenure of three years). Renewals are contingent on research progress.
Stipend
A fellow receives a stipend from the National Research Council while carrying out his or her proposed project. The current annual starting stipend for a Master’s level fellow is $30,000, for a Ph.D. level fellow $35,000, and for a postdoctoral researcher, it starts at $60,000 with increments for additional experience.
This stipend is subject to adjustments from time to time in accordance with general national guidelines.
Applicants are cautioned against entering into any agreement or understanding with individual Advisers or other laboratory personnel for additional funding or other remuneration for work as a fellow.
Stipends for fellows are limited to the amounts and by the conditions set forth above, and any other arrangement, formal or informal, between an applicant and laboratory personnel for additional monies or other considerations is strictly prohibited by the National Research Council.
Taxes
A fellow is self-employed. All arrangements for payment of income taxes are the responsibility of the individual, who is advised to become familiar with the relevant sections of the current tax codes.

Research Adviser
Each Methane Hydrate Program fellow will be closely affiliated with a Research Adviser at the host venue, such as a senior scientist or full-time research faculty member at an accredited university. Advisers will guide and assist fellows with their research programs and in all matters pertaining to their professional work, including assessment of the progress on the research program, and preparation and publication of the results of their research work.
As the locations for performing the Methane Hydrate Fellowship research are not pre-set, neither is the list of potential Advisers. Most potential applicants will already have an Adviser in mind. For those that have questions about contacting a potential Adviser, prospective applicants may also contact the NRC/NETL Program Representative listed below:
