Good Afternoon, 

 

The National Science Foundation is inviting proposals for the Research Traineeship Program, dedicated to shaping and supporting highly effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas through the use of comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs. This is a limited submission opportunity and Harvard University is limited to participating in no more than two proposals. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research is conducting a call for pre-applications to select candidates to apply to NSF’s September 6th deadline. A synopsis and link to the internal competitions can be found below:

 

NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program
Harvard Pre-Proposal Deadline: July 6, 2023
FAS/SEAS/OSP Deadline (if nominated): August 29, 2023
Sponsor Deadline (if nominated): September 6, 2023
Award Amount: up to $3,000,000 for up to 5 years

 

The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program seeks proposals that explore ways for graduate students in research-based master’s and doctoral degree programs to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies needed to pursue a range of STEM careers. The program is dedicated to the effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary research areas through the use of a comprehensive traineeship model that is innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.

 

NSF seeks proposals in any interdisciplinary research theme of national priority, with special emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) and the six research areas within NSF’s 10 Big Ideas:

  • Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR)
  • The Future of Work at the Human Technology Frontier (FW-HTF)
  • Navigating the New Arctic (NNA)
  • Windows on the Universe: The Era of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (WoU)
  • The Quantum Leap: Leading the Next Quantum Revolution (QL)
  • Understanding the Rules of Life: Predicting Phenotype (URoL)

This is a limited submission opportunity. Harvard University is limited to participating in no more than two proposals in consideration for this opportunity. Participation includes serving as the lead or non-lead organization on any proposal. An individual may serve as lead principal investigator (PI) or Co-PI on only one proposal submitted to the NRT program per competition. To be considered for the Harvard nomination, potential applicants must submit an internal pre-proposal at the link above. Additional information about this opportunity can be found on the NSF NRT website.

 

Questions from FAS or SEAS faculty about this opportunity may be directed to Erin Hale (erin_hale@fas.harvard.edu) or Jennifer Corby (jcorby@fas.harvard.edu).

 

Requests for support related to the application portal may be directed to vpr@harvard.edu.
