1 Information Session Purdue University Department of Mathematics October 1, 2015
2 Abstract The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is perhaps this most prestigious graduate fellowship for those of us in the mathematical sciences. Edray Goins (Associate Professor of Mathematics) and Mark Ward (Associate Professor of Statistics, Associate Director of Actuarial Science, and Undergraduate Chair) will run two seminars to maximize your chances of being awarded this fellowship! During the first of two seminars, well review the specifics of the fellowship. We will cover what needs to go into the application such as a personal statement, curriculum vitae (CV), research statement, and letters of recommendation. We will also give more general information on applying for other graduate fellowships, such as the Hertz Foundation, Ford Foundation, National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC), and National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship (NDSEG). At the seminars, we will have several Purdue staff and students in Mathematics and Statistics who have served on NSF GRFP panels and/or been awarded the fellowships over the years. And Dinner will be served at both sessions!

6 Overview FastLane Selection Process What is the NSF GRFP?
7 Overview FastLane Selection Process The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is the countrys oldest fellowship program that directly supports graduate students in various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. The fellowship stipend is currently $34,000 for a 12-month tenure period. The deadline for the 2016 NSF GRFP Applications in Chemistry, the Mathematical Sciences, and Physics and Astronomy is 8:00 pm Eastern Time on Friday October 30, 2015 Reference Letters must be submitted by 8:00 pm Eastern Time on Thursday, November 5, 2015 The Graduate School will pay $250 for submitting an application. Mathematics and Statistics will pay an additional $100 for submitting an application.
8 Overview FastLane Selection Process Submitting an NSF GRFP proposal
9 Am I Eligible to Apply? Overview FastLane Selection Process Categories of applicants that are ineligible: Those who do not hold United States citizenship, national, or permanent resident status by the application deadline. Those who have completed the requirements for any graduate or professional degree by August 1, 2015, except applicants who have completed a joint baccalaureate-master s (BS/MS) program and have not completed any further graduate study outside the joint program unless the graduate coursework was required to establish or maintain credentials in a profession such as teaching; applicants that have had an interruption in graduate study of at least two consecutive years prior to November 1, 2015 and have completed no additional graduate study as of August 1, 2015.
10 Overview FastLane Selection Process
11 Overview FastLane Selection Process
12 Overview FastLane Selection Process What Do I Need To Get Started?
13 NSF GRFP Overview FastLane Selection Process The following must be submitted through FastLane GRFP Application Module: 1 Personal Information 2 Education, Work and Other Experience 3 Electronic Transcripts 4 Proposed Field(s) of Study 5 Proposed Graduate Study and Graduate School Information 6 Names and addresses of reference letter writers 7 Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement 8 Graduate Research Plan Statement
14 Overview FastLane Selection Process How Does the Selection Process Work?
15 Overview FastLane Selection Process How the NSF GRFP Panel Works applications in the Mathematical Sciences 2 They are divided into two panels: Math I and Math II 3 Each panel has individuals over various disciplines 4 The panel meets for three days and divides applications into three categories: 1 Graduating Seniors The panel is very generous towards 2 First-Year Graduate Students They should have a good idea of the research 3 Second-Year Graduate Students No applications in this area in 2013?
16 Overview FastLane Selection Process How the NSF GRFP Panel Works After giving the applications a score of 1 50, the panel places them into one of three Quality Groups : 1 Quality Group 1: Highly Meritorious (20-40 applications) Applicants placed in QG1 are outstanding and recommended to receive fellowship offers. 2 Quality Group 2: Meritorious (60-80 applications) Of somewhat lower quality than those placed in QG1, and of substantially equal merit within the group. These applicants are considered worthy of NSF fellowship support by the panel. Applicants from QG2 who do not receive Fellowship offers receive Honorable Mention. 3 Quality Group 3: Not Recommended (300 applications) Of lower overall merit than applicants placed in QG1 and QG2. Applicants in QG3 do not receive Fellowship offers or Honorable Mention.

20 Graduate Research Plan Statement Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement Research Statement Broader Impact Letters of Recommendation 1 What issues in the scientific community are you most passionate about? 2 Do you possess the technical knowledge and skills necessary for conducting this work, or will you have sufficient mentoring and training to complete the study? 3 Is this plan feasible for the allotted time and institutional resources? 4 How will your research contribute to the big picture outside the academic context? 5 How can you draft a plan using the guidelines presented in the essay instructions? 6 How does your proposed research address the Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts criteria?
21 Graduate Research Plan Statement Personal, Relevant Background and Future Goals Statement Research Statement Broader Impact Letters of Recommendation 1 Criterion 1: What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? How important is the proposed activity to advancing knowledge and understanding within its own field or across different fields? How well qualified is the proposer to conduct the project? To what extent does the proposed activity suggest and explore creative and original concepts? How well conceived and organized is the proposed activity? 2 Criterion 2: What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity? How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups? To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks, and partnerships? Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding?
