Dear Colleagues:
Please feel free to share this resource for graduate students on your
website and/or via your list-serves. We look forward to receiving proposals
from your graduate students.
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).
