There were 435 scientists holding a professional academic appointment at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in 2005. There were five different appointment type including: Student (26), Visiting Scientist, Collaborator (44), Research Associate (324) and Adjunct Scientist (41). The term "Research Associate" is used collectively for all individuals awarded a professional academic appointment and are part of the NMNH scientific community.

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 generally awarded for up to three years and may be renewed. There are two renewal cycles each year, May 1st and November 1st.
