Opportunity Summary:
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a National Science Foundation fellowship designed to strengthen the long-term vitality and diversity of the United States science and engineering workforce. It does this by identifying graduate students with strong potential and providing them with significant, multi-year support while they pursue research-based graduate training. The fellowship is aimed at individuals planning to earn a research-based masters or doctoral degree in disciplines that fall within NSF's mission, with a clear emphasis on developing future researchers and leaders across science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and related fields.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant mechanism offered by the National Science Foundation under Funding Opportunity Number 12-599. NSF anticipated making around 2,000 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total program funding level of about $243,000,000. The listed award floor is $42,000, reflecting the minimum annual support level associated with the fellowship in this solicitation. Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants do not need to secure additional matching funds to be considered.
The GRFP spans a broad range of NSF-supported research areas, and the solicitation references multiple CFDA program listings, including Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Geosciences, Computer and Information Science and Engineering, Biological Sciences, Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences, Education and Human Resources, Polar Programs, International Science and Engineering, Cyberinfrastructure, and EPSCoR. In practical terms, this breadth signals that applicants from many STEM and STEM-adjacent research disciplines can be eligible, as long as their proposed graduate research aligns with NSF priorities and falls within NSF's mission space.
Eligibility is individual-based rather than institution-based: fellowship applications must be submitted by the prospective Fellow, not by a university or other organization on the applicant's behalf. Applicants are required to register in NSF FastLane prior to submission. While an applicant can apply before being fully enrolled, confirmation of acceptance into an NSF-approved graduate degree program is required at the time the fellowship is accepted, with the solicitation specifying a deadline of May 1, 2013 for that confirmation. Recipients are expected to enroll by Fall 2013 in an accredited United States university, college, or nonprofit academic institution of higher education that offers advanced degrees in science and engineering. Additional constraints and details, including any limits or nuanced eligibility conditions, are handled in the solicitation's eligibility section referenced in the announcement.
Key dates in this archived opportunity include a posted and creation date of August 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 19, 2012 (with the note to see the full solicitation for deadline details), and an archive date of December 19, 2012.
