<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Current graduate students supported by National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded projects or Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Fellows can join EPA Researchers as a fellow at an EPA facility. The NSF supports these fellowships
for up to six months through supplemental funding provided directly to the academic institution of the graduate students and fellows.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information from NSF about the INTERN program (not limited to EPA) is available here:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21013/nsf21013.jsp?org=NSF">https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21013/nsf21013.jsp?org=NSF</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To find a list of potential EPA host researchers and projects, see the “Research Fellowship Areas” linked here:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Several colleagues and I have projects listed and would be happy to chat about potential collaborations. Projects span the wide array of research at EPA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Supplemental budget requests to support travel, tuition, stipend, and/or relocation are up to $55,000 per student.
<u>Applications for the supplemental funding have a target due date of April 15 to NSF.<o:p></o:p></u></p>
