1983 faculty and student research participation program evaluation
The 1983 Faculty and Student Research Participation Programs provided research opportunities for 55 faculty members and 79 undergraduate students at eleven DOE facilities. The responses to the four surveys conducted with each group indicated that these programs provide rewarding experiences for both the participants and the DOE scientists with whom they worked. However, there were some ways in which the participants and the facility staff felt the program could be made more effective. Primarily, these suggestions were concerned with securing a way for the continuation of the participants' research efforts. In addition, many respondents encouraged both greater and earlier communication among participants, DOE facility staff, and ORAU. Finally, it appears that temporary housing arrangements were not satisfactory in some situations, particularly for participants assigned to DOE facilities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. These considerations aside, both the participants and the facility staff found the program to be a successful means of providing research experience and an exchange of ideas between the academic world and government research facilities.
