The US Student Fellows program involves extensive one-on-one interaction with young researchers, integrating education and research. The IRM has 12 major research instruments, and visiting scientists in all of the categories listed above commonly need technical assistance in various aspects of their use, as well as higher-level support in experimental design and analysis of results.

Additional support for instrument acquisition and for the Santa Fe Conferences (see #4 below) requires additional proposal submissions. The IRM facility manager collaborates with IRM faculty and staff in writing these proposals (on average one per year) and assembling supplementary information; this is in addition to separate proposals for funding specific research projects.
