The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering and mathematics STEM disciplines who are pursuing research-based masters and doctoral degrees at accredited U.
Currently, about 12, students apply annually for Graduate Research Fellowships; 2, receive awards, which they take to U. Nick Fleury, Director of Financial Support [email protected]. For monthly stipend payments, health insurance premiums, term fees, summer term tuition:. Benny Garcia, Student Account Services [email protected]. For research allowance balance, index reimbursements, minor purchasing questions:. From the Guide:. However, because it is generally accepted that teaching or similar activity constitutes a valuable part of the education and training of many graduate students, a Fellow may undertake a reasonable amount of such activities, without NSF approval.
It is expected that furtherance of the Fellow's educational objectives and the gain of substantive teaching or other experience, not service to the institution as such, will govern these activities. Compensation for such activities is permitted based on the affiliated institution's policies and the general employment policies outlined in this document. However, the compensation of students for TA activities over and above the base stipend is at the discretion of the Option. Students may be required to perform uncompensated TA activities if this is part of the official graduate program requirements.
In all cases, students on full fellowships should not be asked to perform excessive TA duties and the TA time commitment for a student with a full external fellowship must be limited to a total of less than 15 hours per tenure year. Federal Fellowships are defined as awards that are made to individuals from the US Government e. However, you can accept the NSF GRFP fellowship and place it on reserve see the Guide in order to take advantage of Institutional funding from Caltech this requires permission of your advisor and Option or private fellowship funding.
The application requires an original research proposal; short statements detailing personal experiences, background, and goals; academic transcripts; and three reference letters. See the relevant funding opportunity for additional information.
Further information on each system is available in Chapter I. NSF funds research and education in most fields of science and engineering. Awardees are chosen from those who send us proposals asking for a specific amount of support for a specific project.
Proposals may be submitted in response to the various funding opportunities that are announced on the NSF website. The National Science Foundation NSF is the only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. NSF is tasked with keeping the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology.
As an independent federal agency, NSF does not fall under any cabinet department. National Science Foundation Two-Month Salary Limit As a general policy, NSF limits the salary compensation requested in the proposal budget for senior personnel to no more than two months of their regular salary in any one year. This limit includes salary compensation received from all NSF-funded grants. Grantee authority to approve pre-award costs does not impose an obligation on NSF: 1 in the absence of appropriations; 2 if an award is not subsequently made; or 3 if an award is made for a lesser amount than the grantee anticipated.
Postdoctoral researchers are not allowed to serve as PI or co-PI but they may serve as other personnel.
