Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #grfp, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I've updated my rnsf #rstats package to include:

    • Cache of public data on every #NSF grant (>500K)
    • Info on every #GRFP

    Tools for viz, examples of use, etc.

  2. NSF GRFP applicants (and mentors): Was your application Returned Without Review and deemed ineligible despite fitting in the allowed topics?

    1) Write NSF
    2) Write your Congressperson
    3) CC us at [email protected] so we can compile for a collective follow-up with the House Science commitee and NSF leadership

    Update: A new round of these RWRs appear to have been sent out today (Feb 4). Keep those letters coming!

  4. As #NSF #GRFP application windows open, potential applicants should check out this amazing repository of previous applications. A great reference to help calibrate before application preparation. And don't forget about #NDSEG too!!

  5. 🧪 Were you one of the many thousands of STEM students and mentors impacted by the sudden change in #NSF #GRFP eligibility last week?

    We created a petition to NSF leadership and Congress to reverse the changes— please sign and share your stories here, and spread the word to other affected folks

  6. #NSF slashes prestigious #PhD #fellowship awards by half
    #US National #Science Foundation announces lowest number of Graduate Research Fellowship Programme (#GRFP) recipients in 15 years. nature.com/articles/d41586-025

    Who needs another generation of #scientists? </s>

  7. Some food for thought:

    Each year #NSF gives out at least 2500 #GRFP awards, each worth $159k, for a total of $400M.

    Each year about 40,000 people receive a Ph.D. in a #STEM field in the US.

    One year's GRFP budget would cover an award of about $10,000 for each Ph.D. recipient in the US.

  8. I have a terrific mentee looking to write a GRFP this cycle. Their research ideas are interdisciplinary; they’re interested in asking social-ecological questions. Does anyone have examples of funded proposals of this nature. They are thinking of blending research on restorative social practices / community agriculture and microbial diversity / ecology. Please forward to others working in these spheres that could help advise or who have examples. Thanks! #NSF #GRFP

  9. Today is going to be mostly student meetings. It’s good to be able to check in and many of them are thinking #GRFP applications. Should be fun to think big.

  10. Has anyone here seen an #nsf #grfp (graduate research fellowship program) application desk rejected without evaluation? I have seen a very standard science and technology studies (#sts) one desk rejected for being about public health but 1) it wasn't 2) it was about gunshot detection, policing, and cities.

    I literally found NSF funded Brantingham of Shotspotter fame to do community studies of Shotspotter, but they desk reject a GRFP doing a socio-technical analysis???

  11. If I had some sweet #GRFP money, I'd study the oxytocinergic effects of live music
