CEDAR email: NSF-AFRL INTERN Supplemental Funding Opportunity

[Liu, Zhuangren]

Dear CEDAR Community,



I like to bring to your attention a supplemental funding opportunity in a unique partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL):


NSF will consider supplemental funding requests that enable PIs (or Co-PIs) to request up to six months of additional support for graduate students supported on active NSF grants with the following goals:

  1.  To provide graduate students with the opportunity to augment their research assistantships or NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) fellowships with AFRL research internship activities and training opportunities that will complement their academic research training;
  2.  To allow graduate students to pursue new activities aimed at acquiring professional development experience that will enhance their preparation for multiple career pathways after graduation; and
  3.  To encourage the participation of graduate students from underrepresented groups such as women, persons with disabilities, underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), veterans, and persons from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds.

To be eligible, graduate students must have completed at least one academic year in their graduate programs (master's or doctoral), be making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degree and must be a US Citizen.

For more details, please visit
