NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program

Summary

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Graduate Fellowship Program. This program is designed to support graduate-level research and education in jurisdictions that have historically received less federal R&D funding. The opportunity is posted as a synopsis on Grants.gov and remains open for an extended period through June 2026, suggesting a rolling or multi-cohort award structure. No detailed scope, budget, or deliverable information is provided in the available text.

How they evaluate

Risks & flags

• Minimal details provided — no budget, deliverables, or eligibility criteria disclosed in the synopsis; full program requirements cannot be assessed for fairness or wiring.
• Extended open window (nearly 2 years) without detail may indicate a broad discretionary award mechanism with limited transparency.
