NSF Graduate Research Grant
Open to graduate students in NSF-supported social science, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based masters and doctoral degrees in the United States and abroad. This includes economics, psychology (non-clinical), anthropology (including cultural if quantitative enough), sociology, and political science if focusing on the "science" of policy making (usually this has some econ in it). The only significant restrictions are no clinical biomedical sciences (that is the divide with NIH) and no purely professional degrees (including MD-PhD programs).
Gives students the opportunity to pursue research projects of their own design and may be used within a five-year period. Moreover, Fellows are given access to cyberinfrastructure resources through the TeraGrid. The three-year financial support includes the following:
- $30,000 annual stipend
- $10,500 annual cost of education
