NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Informational Webinar Video Now Available

This webinar provided an overview of the NSF 24-597 NSF Research Traineeship (NRT)funding opportunity. This program supports interdisciplinary, evidence-based traineeships that advance ways for graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree programs to pursue a range of STEM careers.

A supplementary webinar focused on Track 2 and Track 2 Planning Proposals for the NSF 24-597 NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) funding opportunity and serves to complement the more comprehensive overview of the program at the top of that same page. NRT proposals may be submitted under two tracks (i.e., Track 1 and Track 2). All projects should include a focus on STEM graduate students in research-based PhD and/or master’s degree programs. Track 1 proposals may request a total budget up to $3 million for projects up to five years in duration; Track 2 proposals may request a total budget up to $2 million for projects up to five years in duration; NSF requires that Track 2 proposals focus on programs from institutions not classified as Doctoral Universities: Very High Research Activity (R1). Other requirements for Track 1 and Track 2 are identical. Proposals for planning grants are encouraged but not required to facilitate collaborative transdisciplinary and training activities in anticipation of submission of Track 2 proposals. Proposals for planning grants may be up to $100,00 per year and up to two years in duration.
