The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer
Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students (EAPSI) is a flagship international
fellowship program for developing the next generation of globally  engaged
U.S. scientists and engineers knowledgeable about the Asian and Pacific
regions. The Summer Institutes are hosted by foreign counterparts committed
to increasing opportunities for young U.S. researchers to work in research
facilities and with host mentors abroad. Fellows are supported to
participate in eight-week research experiences at host laboratories in
Australia, China, Japan (10 weeks), Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan
from June to August. The program provides a $5,000 summer stipend,
round-trip airfare to the host location, living expenses abroad, and an
introduction to the society, culture, language, and research environment of
the host location. 

 

The 2012 application is now open and will close at 5:00 pm proposer's local
time on November 9, 2011.  Application instructions are available online at
<http://eastasiapacificprogram.cmail1.com/t/y/l/kiiruy/l/y> www.nsfsi.org.
For further information concerning benefits, eligibility, and tips on

NSF recognizes the importance of enabling U.S. researchers and educators to
advance their work through international collaborations and the value of
ensuring that future generations of U.S. scientists and engineers gain
professional experience beyond this nation's borders early in their careers.
The program is intended for U.S. graduate students pursuing studies in
fields supported by the National Science Foundation. Women, minorities, and
persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply for the EAPSI.
Applicants must be enrolled in a research-oriented master's or PhD program
and be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents by the application deadline
date. Students in combined bachelor/master degree programs must have
matriculated from the undergraduate degree program by the application
deadline date. 

The first Summer Institutes began in Japan in 1990, and to date over 2,400
U.S. graduate students have participated in the program.
