Early Graduate Student Researcher AwardsAbout the Early Graduate Student Researcher Awards. The purpose of the Early Graduate Student Research Awards program is to reward students for conducting outstanding research early in their graduate training (i.e. within the first three years of doctoral study). The award focuses on both the student’s general research experience and specific completed research projects. To be eligible to apply, student must be currently enrolled in a doctoral program and must be within the first three years of their doctoral program at the time of the application deadline. We are unable to accept submissions from advanced graduate students (i.e. students in year 4 of their doctoral program or beyond) or from students not currently enrolled in a doctoral program at the time of application. Strong preference will be given to students who demonstrate outstanding research abilities earlier in their graduate training, and who show a considerable level of independence in conducting their research. Up to three awards are given each year, drawn from basic science, applied science, and interdisciplinary science areas. Each recipient receives an award of $1,000. The deadline for award submissions is September 15, 2009. Winners will be announced in mid-November. If you have any questions, please send an email to the Science Directorate (or telephone at 202-336-6000).
