The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have introduced a collaborative internship program named Hydrogen INTERN to provide training and professional development for graduate students in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. This initiative, part of the NSF Non-Academic Research Internships for Graduate Students (NSF INTERN) program, seeks to address the growing demand for a skilled workforce to advance research and development in hydrogen energy. Hydrogen energy is recognized for its potential as a renewable and reliable source across various applications such as transportation, industrial processes, and stationary power. By offering internships through the NSF-DOE partnership, the agencies aim to support the commercialization and societal benefits of hydrogen as a clean energy source. The Hydrogen INTERN program, funded to support around 10 internships per fiscal year, provides graduate students with hands-on experience and up to $55,000 per student over a six-month period. These internships can be undertaken in diverse settings, including industry, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies, to expose students to real-world challenges and opportunities in the clean energy sector. Through this collaboration, NSF and DOE are preparing the next generation of professionals in the hydrogen industry, equipping them with the necessary skills to contribute to research, development, and deployment of hydrogen technologies. The program not only aims to diversify the STEM workforce but also to support the growth of clean energy by fostering innovation and expertise in the field of hydrogen energy.
