Natural History Research Associates
Alphabetical Listing
2004
Last Updated: 7 December 2004

In 2004 there were 269 scientists who held a Research Associate appointment through the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.

Although active members of the scientific community, Research Associates are not employees of the Museum, but individuals who hold a formal scholarly affiliation with the Institution. Appointments are awarded for up to three years and may be renewed.
