National Science Foundation INTERN Announcement
Note that, to be eligible, graduate students must have completed at least one academic year in their graduate programs (master's or doctoral) and be making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees.
This opportunity is open to PIs (and co-PIs) who are supporting graduate students through an active NSF award. A PI for an active GRFP fellowship (not the GRFP fellow) should contact GRFP regarding specific GRFP requirements before submitting a supplemental funding request on behalf of a GRFP fellow.
If you are an EPA researcher with an ongoing project and would like your opportunity to be listed below, please complete the EPA NSF-GRFP Intern Project Opportunity Template Form and return to Project Officer.
For additional clarity on the process, please review a brief flowchart describing the steps for obtaining an EPA NSF-GRFP INTERN.
