Notes: The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) is a not-for-profit corporation that operates Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). The two FFRDCs seeking summer associates are the Systems and Analyses Center and the Science and Technology Policy Institute. Attendance at the 9 week core period between June 7, 2021 and August 6, 2021 is required. An additional week either before or after the core period is required for a complete 10 week internship. In some cases opportunities exist for associates to work a few weeks longer than the 10-week minimum. For students living outside the area, IDA pays for one instance of round-trip travel. Associates are responsible for living expenses during the summer.
