Additional Info
*Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
-
Fellowship proposals must be submitted directly by the Fellowship candidate to NSF. Each Fellowship candidate must identify a sponsoring scientist(s) and must affiliate with a U.S. host organization. Appropriate primary host organizations include:
<ul>
<li>Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) Two-and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the U.S., acting on behalf of their faculty members.</li>
<li>Non-profit, Non-academic organizations -Independentmuseums, observatories,research laboratories, professional societies and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities.</li>
<li>For-profit research organizations – U.S. commercial organizations, especially small businesses with strong capabilities in scientific or engineering research or education.</li>
</ul>
*Who May Serve as PI:
To be eligible to submit a proposal to the OPP-PRF Program, an individual must, as of the full proposal target date, meet all of the following criteria:
<ul type="disc">
<li>Be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident (i.e., have a "green card") at the time the proposal is submitted.</li>
<li>Have earned the doctoral degree, or expect to have earned the doctoral degree, prior to the required start date of the fellowship.</li>
<li>Not have worked for more than a total of 24 full-time-equivalent months in positions that require the doctoral degree. </li>
<li>Provide a project plan that is appropriate for one of OPP’s research programs.</li>
</ul>
Applicants are encouraged to implement the PRF at an institution new to the applicant, since the objectives of the fellowships include broadening the perspectives and experiences of the Fellows and promoting interdisciplinary research careers. However, NSF recognizes that moving to a new location for a two-year position may not be an option for all applicants, and therefore, proposals to remain at a candidate’s current institution are allowed. If a candidate proposes to be hosted by their graduate/current institution, they must clearly explain the benefits of this choice to their research and to their professional development goals.
Proposals that fail to meet the above eligibility requirements may be returned without review.
By signing and submitting the proposal, the fellowship candidate is certifying that they meet the eligibility criteria specified in this program solicitation. Willful provision of false information in this request and its supporting documents or in reports required under an ensuing award is a criminal offense (U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 1001).
