NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) application deadlines are approaching, and the Graduate School is hosting a series of sessions to help graduate students craft effective GRFP proposals.

For hands-on assistance, two in-person peer review sessions will be held in Mann Library room 102 on September 20 from 3 – 5 p.m. and September 25, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Sign up for a 20-minute appointment at one of these sessions to have your NSF GRF materials peer reviewed by successful GRFP fellows. Sign up with your name and email address in a yellow-colored space in any empty space with an available peer reviewer.

Students who sign up for a time slot should plan to provide their peer reviewer with a draft of their application materials via email no less than 24 hours before their peer review appointment. In your email to your reviewer, please make sure you introduce yourself and let them know the time slot you are signed up for. We do not anticipate the peer reviewers having time to do an in-depth review of your materials before your appointment, as this is what the appointment is meant for. However, their ability to do an initial read of your materials before your appointment will help make your time with them more productive.
