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.<br><div class="gmail_quote">

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. </span></font></p>

NSF recognizes the importance of enabling U.S.
researchers and educators to advance their work through international
collaborations and the value of ensuring that future generations of U.S.
scientists and engineers gain professional experience beyond this nation's
borders early in their careers. The program is intended for U.S.
graduate students pursuing studies in fields supported by the National Science
Foundation. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly
encouraged to apply for the EAPSI. Applicants must be enrolled in a research-oriented
master's or PhD program and be U.S.
citizens or U.S.
permanent residents by the application deadline date. Students in combined
bachelor/master degree programs must have matriculated from the undergraduate
degree program at time of application. <br>
<br>
The first Summer Institutes began in Japan
in 1990, and to date approximately 1,800 U.S.
graduate students have participated in the program. For the 2009 competition,
NSF received 317 applications and issued 187 awards. EAPSI applicants are
representative of most U.S.
states and territories. The 2009 awardees pool included representation from 95
universities and 40 states. <br>
