Subject: Grad Fellowship opportunity 

Dear Grad Coordinators:
Happy New Year.
Please post or otherwise disseminate to appropriate students in your 
program.


NSF continues to solicit proposals for the Developing Global Scientists 
and Engineers program. This program is intended to provide highest-quality 
international research experiences for U.S. students via two components: 
(1) International Research Experiences for Students (IRES), which support 
groups of U.S. undergraduate or graduate students conducting research 
abroad in collaboration with foreign investigators and (2) Doctoral 
Dissertation Enhancement Projects (DDEP), which support the dissertation 
research abroad of one doctoral student in collaboration with a foreign 
investigator. Approximately $2.1 million is expected to be available 
annually to support 24 grants. Proposals generally must be submitted by 
U.S. institutions, organizations or professional societies on behalf of 
principal investigators. DDEP proposals must be submitted by faculty 
advisors of graduate students whose dissertation projects are the subject 
of the proposals. IRES proposals are due Feb. 15 and Sept. 15, annually; 
DDEP proposals may be submitted at any time. For more information, visit:
