Description
The NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) supports graduate talent recruitment, development, and retention at institutions in eligible EPSCoR states and territories. This pilot program funds graduate degree-awarding institutions to recruit students who received NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Honorable Mention recognition no more than three years before the institutional proposal deadline.
Fellows pursue master's or doctoral degrees in participating NSF directorates' and offices' designated disciplines, including STEM education research. Their degree field may differ from the field listed in their earlier GRFP application. The program aims to strengthen STEM research capacity and competitiveness in EPSCoR jurisdictions, support a workforce in critical and emerging technologies, and promote innovation and economic growth.
