International Research Fellowship Program (IRFP) Is To Introduce Scientists And Engineers 2010 In USA
Objective:
The objective of the International Research Fellowship Program (IRFP) is to introduce scientists and engineers in the early stages of their careers to research opportunities abroad, thereby furthering NSF’s goal of creating a diverse, competitive, and globally-engaged U.S. workforce of scientists, engineers, technologists and well-prepared citizens. These awards are available in any field of science and engineering research and education supported by NSF. This program has a target date. For all programs, a complete application package must be submitted to NSF by the published deadline
Eligibility:
Eligible applicants, in addition to being citizens or permanent residents of the United States, must have earned a doctoral degree within two years of the deadline date, or expect to receive the doctoral degree by the start of the project. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Purpose Of IRFP:
The purpose of this fellowship is to give young researchers international research experience. In addition, the applicant may also request that a portion of the 24-months include a period of re-entry back in the United States. This re-entry period must consist of a research experience relevant to the foreign fellowship period. The re-entry component must be for research, not just to write up results. Any re-entry component must be submitted with the original research proposal, and cannot be requested later. The re-entry component must be included in the Project Description, and include a designated U.S. host and host institution. The U.S. host must provide a letter of invitation and his/her curriculum vitae. The re-entry component is reviewed along with the foreign component. The re-entry component must be of a duration equal to or less than that of the foreign period. The foreign period must be taken first, the re-entry last. No indirect costs will be provided to the U.S. institution.
