NSF - Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research
These grants are awarded for support of doctoral dissertation research in the
environmental, behavioral, and social sciences, and in the studies in science,
technology, and society programs, in order to improve the overall quality
of research in these sciences. Grants allow doctoral candidates to conduct
research in field settings away from the home campus. Awards will be made
only when it is clear that the dissertation to be produced will be of the
highest scientific merit. A proposal must be submitted through regular university
channels by the dissertation advisor on behalf of a graduate student who
is at the point of initiating dissertation research.
Eligibility:
Only students enrolled at U.S. institutions are eligible. A proposal may be
submitted while the student is completing other requirements for the doctorate.
Application Deadline:
Proposals should be submitted by UT to NSF at least six months
prior to the requested start date.
Stipend:
Grants are intended to provide funds for items not normally available from
the student's university or other sources.
