UIDP Webinar: NSF Graduate Student Support
July 18, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT
Learn about an exciting new NSF supplemental funding opportunity for graduate students seeking career opportunities in any sector of the U.S. economy.
NSF currently invests in a number of graduate student preparedness activities and has historically encouraged principal investigators (PIs) to include such activities in research proposals to NSF. This webinar describes new commitments and funding opportunities to ensure graduate students are prepared for the 21st-century STEM workforce. More information about these funding opportunities can be found at https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2017/nsf17091/nsf17091.jsp.
