[4eyes] Fwd: 2010 NSF EAPSI APPLICATION NOW OPEN!

[Jason Wither]

I got one of these grants a few years ago to go study with Bruce Thomas's
lab in Australia.  It's a great chance to work in another lab, and travel to
another country.  I highly encourage applying.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer
Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students (EAPSI) is a flagship international
fellowship program for developing the next generation of globally-engaged
U.S. scientists and engineers knowledgeable about the Asian and Pacific
regions. The Summer Institutes are hosted by foreign counterparts committed
to increasing opportunities for young U.S. researchers to work in research
facilities and with host mentors abroad. Fellows are supported to
participate in eight-week research experiences at host laboratories in
Australia, China, Japan (10 weeks), Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan
from June to August. The program provides a $5,000 summer stipend,
round-trip airfare to the host location, living expenses abroad, and an
introduction to the society, culture, language, and research environment of
the host location.

*The 2010 application is now open and will close December 8,
2009.*Application instructions are available online at
