Important information for proposers

All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

EGFP and ETAP


EGFP supports institutions in EPSCoR jurisdictions by providing funding for graduate fellowships to help support new or continuing EGFP eligible students.

NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) Fellows and PI Institutions will connect through the NSF Education and Training Opportunities Applications portal (ETAP). ETAP helps students find and apply to education and training opportunities funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Principal Investigators of NSF Awards can customize NSF’s ETAP application to provide education and training opportunities for applicants. Every year, more NSF Opportunities are being managed through NSF ETAP. However, ETAP does not include all available NSF Education and Training Opportunities.
