The
Division of the Social Sciences will host a presentation on applying
for a National Science Foundation predoctoral graduate research
fellowship on Friday, September 24. We will talk about the submission
process in detail and provide a host of tips and insights on what makes a
strong NSF fellowship application. A panel of current graduate
students who hold NSF fellowships will also answer questions. Following
the presentation, for those who wish it, we will set up working groups
of 3 to 5 students for the purpose of going over ideas and drafts. The
presentation will take place in Kent Hall, room 120, starting at 2:00.
Our students in Anthropology, Comparative Human Development, Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science, Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology are eligible. The fellowship supports students in the early stages of graduate study. Our students have won this award while in their first year of study, and a few even in their second year. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The deadline for submission of an NSF application in the social science disciplines is November 15 or 19 (depending on field). Here is the web site for the NSF if you don't already have it flagged: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=6201&org=NSF.
If you are interested in the presentation on September 24, it would be useful if you would let Kelly Pollock know by emailing kpollock@uchicago.edu so that we can estimate the likely number of students who might attend.
