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.<br>
<br>
The 2011 application is now open and will close at 5:00 pm local time
on November 10, 2010. Application instructions are available online at<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.nsfsi.org">www.nsfsi.org</a>.

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 by the application deadline date.<br>
<br>
The first Summer Institutes began in Japan in 1990, and to date over
2,000 U.S. graduate students have participated in the program.<br>
