NIA’s Visitor Program facilitates research collaborations between scientists and engineers at NIA, the NASA Langley Research Center, and researchers, faculty and graduate students from other institutions.  The typical visit is for a semester or summer, but longer or shorter durations are easily accommodated.  NIA supports this program with concierge services to assist with securing local lodging, visas for our international guests, and access badges for the NASA Langley Research Center.  Participants usually conclude their stay with a seminar at NIA for our resident faculty, research staff, students and researchers from the NASA Langley Research Center.
