Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology
Educational and not-for-profit institutions chartered in the United States, with a major commitment to research in seismology and related fields, may become Voting Members. Research institutions and other not-for-profit organizations both inside and outside the United States engaged in seismological research and development, which may not otherwise qualify for IRIS membership, may be elected Educational Affiliates, US affiliates, or Foreign Affiliates.
IRIS often sponsors workshops or training sessions for its related programs, including an annual IRIS workshop where members are encouraged to give talks, host poster sessions and attend working group meetings.
Every 5 years, IRIS must submit a new funding proposal to NSF. Contributions from the IRIS membership are crucial to the success of this endeavor.
The Education & Outreach program and PASSCAL sponsor summer student internship programs.
