31 Faculty Researchers University Partnerships launched the Faculty Researcher Program in 2016, allowing prominent professors to conduct research at Idaho National Laboratory during breaks from teaching.The first two professors to take part in the program were Dr. Charles Boncelet from University of Delaware and Dr. Anurag Srivastava from Washington State University. Both continued in the program into 2017. When they returned to their academic duties, they were able to share with students and colleagues what they learned at INL. Equally important, they act as advocates of INL research and programs, encouraging students to pursue INL internships and postdoctoral research opportunities.
