Visit SREL as a Research Scholar

SREL’s faculty and staff provide a wealth of expertise and access to resources. SREL is housed on the Savannah River Site. The nation’s first national environmental research park, or NERP, the SRS provides unique opportunities to conduct research on a protected site and compare natural habitats and areas exposed to contaminants.

Professional researchers interested in visiting SREL to conduct research need to contact a principal investigator at the SREL to request sponsorship.

First Steps to becoming an SREL Visiting Research Scholar:

Contact a principal investigator by email to ask him or her to sponsor you. The PIs and their contact information can be found in the SREL Directory under Faculty on this website.
After you’ve acquired a sponsor, complete and submit the SREL Visiting Research Scholar Questionnaire below. You will receive an automatic email message when the completed form is received. The form will not be accepted without the name of your sponsor.

Travis DeVault, SREL’s associate director, will contact you after you’ve been officially accepted as an SREL Visiting Scholar.

We are excited to work with you.
