About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for the EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) to fund graduate fellowships for GRFP Honorable Mention recipients at institutions in EPSCoR jurisdictions, with applications due June 1, 2027. Eligible applicants must be accredited institutions of higher education with a campus located in an eligible EPSCoR jurisdiction that award at least one master's or doctoral degree in a STEM discipline aligned with NSF Directorate topical focus areas. PIs, co-PIs, and Senior/Key personnel must hold primary, full-time, paid, and continuing appointments at an eligible institution at submission; term-limited appointments are ineligible.
Only GRFP Honorable Mention recipients who received that distinction no more than three years before the proposal due date may be named as Fellows. Fellows may pursue degrees in fields that differ from their original GRFP application field of study. Each Fellow receives three years of stipend support at $37,000 per year and cost-of-education allowance at $16,000 per year, with up to five years to utilize the support. The institution retains the full cost-of-education allowance during the three-year support period; Fellows receive the full stipend amount. All submissions must request support for a minimum of three Fellows.
Awards are made to institutions in EPSCoR jurisdictions only. The program operates under NSF's Integrative Activities and STEM Education directorates (CFDA 47.083 and 47.076) and complements NSF's broader research capacity-building mission in research-limited states and territories. No cost share is required.
