    <p>The NASA Postdoctoral Program offers U.S. and international scientists the opportunity to advance their research while contributing to NASA’s scientific goals. The NPP supports fundamental science; explores the undiscovered; promotes intellectual growth; and encourages scientific connections.</p>
    <p>Selected by a competitive peer-review process, NPP Fellows complete one- to three-year Fellowship appointments that advance NASA’s missions in earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, space bioscience, aeronautics, and engineering, human exploration and space operations, and astrobiology.</p>
    <p>Current research opportunities can be viewed online: <a href="https://npp.usra.edu/opportunities/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://npp.usra.edu/opportunities/ </a>Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in hand before beginning the fellowship but may apply while completing the degree requirements. U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, and foreign nationals eligible for J-1 status as a Research Scholar may apply.</p>
    <p>Stipends start at $60,000 per year, with supplements for high cost-of-living areas and for certain academic specialties. Financial assistance is available for relocation as well as subsidized health insurance, and $10,000 per year is provided for professional and programmatic travel.</p>
    <p>Applications are accepted three times each year:</p>
    <p>• March 1<br>
    • July 1<br>
    • November 1</p>

    <div class="html-content"><p>Dear Students,</p>
    <p>The University System of Maryland’s LSAMP program and the Executive Director of the Latin and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI) invite the students of LSAMP and LSAMP-BD to come to the 2018 LACCEI annual conference in Lima, Peru to share research and participate in activities of the Student Platform for Engineering Education (SPEED).</p>
    <p>The 2018 Conference: <a href="http://wp.eng.fau.edu/laccei2018/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://wp.eng.fau.edu/laccei2018/</a></p>
    <p>Call for papers – Please apply for the <em><strong>student competition</strong></em>: <a href="http://wp.eng.fau.edu/laccei2018/student-paper-competition/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://wp.eng.fau.edu/laccei2018/student-paper-competition/</a></p>
    <p>Several NSF USM LSAMP-BD Fellows, PROMISE AGEP Fellows, and faculty connected with ADVANCE programs have participated in LACCEI in the past.</p>
    <p><a title="2018 LACCEI - Flyer" href="https://usmlsamp.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/2018-laccei-flyer.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">2018 LACCEI – Flyer</a></p>

    <ul>
    <li>Submit an abstract ASAP: The student paper submission deadline is February 1, 2018. You must create an account to submit the abstract. You may submit an abstract based on your research. The conference primarily focuses on engineering, computer science, and IT, however, students with other science backgrounds are invited.</li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
    <li>Let us know that you have submitted by writing a short comment at the <strong>bottom of the post in the following link: <a href="https://usmlsamp.wordpress.com/2018/01/15/share-your-research-at-laccei-2018-lima-peru-abstract-deadline-february-1-2018/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://usmlsamp.wordpress.com/2018/01/15/share-your-research-at-laccei-2018-lima-peru-abstract-deadline-february-1-2018/</a></strong>.

    </ul>
    <hr>
    <p>The Maryland delegation will be led by the Co-PIs of the USM-LSAMP. Students from the PROMISE AGEP and the USM LSAMP have participated in LACCEI conferences in Panama, Mexico, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and Boca Raton. (Contact person: <a href="https://renettatull.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dr. Renetta Tull</a>).</p>
    <p>Limited funding for travel (registration, flight, lodging) has been reserved for those USM LSAMP and PROMISE AGEP students whose abstracts are submitted and <strong><em>accepted.</em></strong></p>
    <p><strong>Twitter</strong></p>
    <ul>
    <li>Students who travel with the Maryland delegation will be expected to participate in a daily Twitter activity that will start on July 17, 2018, and end on July 24, 2018.</li>
    <li>All participants will tweet daily for the duration of the trip in Lima and will respond to questions that are posted about the conference sessions and experiences.</li>
    <li>We will use the following hashtags <strong>#ThinkBigDiversity </strong>and <strong>#LACCEI2018 </strong>in <strong>every tweet.</strong></li>
    </ul>
    <p><em><strong>Rules of Engagement:</strong></em></p>
    <ol>
    <li>Create a Twitter account if you don’t have one. Please remember that this tweets will be used for official reports and research.</li>
    <li>Use #ThinkBigDiversity and #LACCEI2018 in each tweet.</li>
    <li>When answering a question make sure to follow the logic Ex. “Q1” = Question one, when answering question 1 write “A1” = Answer 1 in front of your answer.</li>
    <li>When typing a long answer, please type it on a separate sheet or page and divide the answers into parts so when tweeting it will look like a thread (1/2, 2/2). See example below #6.</li>
    <li>We are aiming for <strong>10 tweets per person, per day.</strong></li>
