NSF GRFP Proposals: In-Person Peer Review Session

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. This year, graduate applicants must be first-year graduate students in their first graduate degree program with less than one academic year completed in the degree program.

For hands-on assistance, two in-person peer review sessions will be held in 103 Mann Library on October 22 from 2–4 p.m. and October 27 from  12–2 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.

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.
