Academic Area:
NSF’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) recognizes and supports individuals early in their graduate training in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
Description:
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is a National Science Foundation-wide program that provides Fellowships to individuals selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant research achievements in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) or in STEM education. Three years of support over a five-year period are provided for graduate study that leads to a research-based master’s or doctoral degree in STEM or STEM education (see eligible Fields of Study in Appendix).
The program goals are: 1) to select, recognize, and financially support early-career individuals with the demonstrated potential to be high achieving scientists and engineers, and 2) to broaden participation of the full spectrum of diverse talents in STEM. NSF actively encourages submission of applications from the full spectrum of diverse talent in STEM.
In FY2024, NSF will continue to fund outstanding Graduate Research Fellowships in all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF and continue to emphasize high priority research areas in alignment with NSF goals and priorities listed in pages 127-128 of the FY2024 budget (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/budget_fy2024.pdf). Applications are encouraged in all disciplines supported by NSF.
The award:
The awardee institution receives up to a $53,000 award per Fellow who uses the support in a fellowship year. This is intended to cover the costs of attendance.
The Graduate Research Fellowship stipend is $37,000 for 12-months.
The award is renewable for three years, and usable over a five-year fellowship period.
