[4eyes] FW: NSF EAPSI Program for U.S. Graduate Students in Science and Engineering: *November 12, 2015* proposal submission deadline

[Matthew Turk]

If any PhD students are interested in spending 8-10 weeks next summer in
East Asia/Pacific, see the info below about the NSF EAPSI program. For
example, if someone wanted to work with Mark Billinghurst in Australia, or
with one of our colleagues in Japan or Korea.

Dear Colleagues:  

 

Please feel free to share this resource for U.S. graduate students. We look
forward to receiving proposals from your graduate students. Please do not
hesitate to contact us if you have questions. 

 

 

 

The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer
Institutes (EAPSI) Fellowship Program provides U.S. graduate students in
science and engineering with an opportunity to spend 8 weeks (10 weeks for
Japan) during the summer conducting research at one of the seven host
locations in East Asia and Pacific: Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New
Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. The program is a collaboration between NSF
and counterpart agencies in each host location. 

 

EAPSI is open to graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent
residents and are enrolled in a research-oriented Masters or Ph.D. program
in science or engineering. Applicants must propose a research project in a
field of science, engineering or STEM education supported by NSF, including
Engineering; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Mathematical
and Physical Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Materials
Science); Biological Sciences; Geosciences; Social, Behavioral, and Economic
Sciences; Education (STEM); and Multidisciplinary Research in these fields.
Applicants identify and contact host researchers on their own, prior to
submitting their EAPSI proposal; lists of prospective host institutions are
available at the end of each Handbook. 

 

NSF provides EAPSI Fellows with a $5,000 stipend and roundtrip airplane
ticket to the host location. Our foreign counterparts provide in-country
living expenses and accommodations (arrangements vary by host location).
Please see www.nsf.gov/eapsi  for additional information for the Program
Solicitation (NSF 13-593); host location-specific Handbooks; How to Apply
Guide; and Helpful Tips for Applicants.

 

 

In 2016, approximately 211 EAPSI Fellows travel to seven locations in the
East Asia and Pacific: 

Australia - 26

China - 40

Japan - 65

Korea - 25

New Zealand - 15

Singapore - 15

Taiwan - 25

 

The application submission deadline for the Summer 2016 is November 12,
2015.
