JPLGF is a program designed to give graduate students the opportunity to conduct research at JPL that is supportive of their graduate studies and at the same time is compatible with the research of the JPL advisor.
Ideally, a project will be of interest to the students' university graduate advisor as well, so the arrangement will permit a three-way collaboration.
JPLGF is not a "jobs" program. The student will be an affiliate, not an employee, and should not be brought here to support day-to-day JPL project and program activities other than research.
