May '06 Awards
There
were 458
scientists who held a professional
academic appointment at Smithsonian's
National Museum of Natural History through
three different appointment type including:
Collaborator (99), Research Associate
(317) and Adjunct Scientist
(42). The term "Research Associate"
is sometimes used collectively for all
individuals awarded a professional academic
appointment and who 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.
