| Employee Referral Program | It’s a win-win-win. USRA fills a position with an excellent candidate and you get a bonus AND maybe you’ve also helped to match a friend with a great new role. Reward amounts are based upon tiers, and tiers are established based on factors such as time to fill positions and the need to fill a job quickly. The tier of a position and eligibility in the program are detailed in the ADP Employee Referral module. Also, YOU can review and apply to jobs at any time on the USRA careers page. If you have questions, please reach hroperations@usra.edu.

| USRA Launches Bonusly For Everyday Contributions | USRA has a new on-line recognition program – Bonusly! Using Bonusly, employees and managers can recognize a job well done, then give and/or receive small USRA Awards to celebrate success in real time. Additionally, you can add a comment, gif or emoji to keep the recognition going.
With Bonusly, all employees and managers can publicly recognize their peers, team members, or any other staff and/or manager by giving recognition in award amounts smaller than Spot Awards. These smaller awards add up to meaningful recognition.
We are excited with the utilization in the first several weeks, so if you have not yet done so, log into Bonusly and join the fun: USRA BONUSLY Using your usra.edu extension, you should have immediate single sign-on.
Should you have any questions send an email to Bonusly Program | | |

| | USRA Scientist Leads Integration of Satellite Air Quality Data into USEPA's "AirNow" System | Until recently, particulate matter (smoke and dust in air resulting from fires) data collection has been mostly performed via ground-based monitoring. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) “AirNow” program at airnow.gov is the primary source of air quality information accessed by researchers, weather forecasters, and the public. Gaps in the spatial coverage and resolution of ground-based monitors make it difficult to produce accurate and accessible real-time data across the entire country.
