The program is a collaboration between NSF and counterpart agencies in each host location.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>EAPSI is open to graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and are enrolled in a research-oriented Masters or Ph.D. program in science or engineering. Applicants must propose a research project in a field of science, engineering or STEM education supported by NSF, including Engineering; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Mathematical and Physical Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Materials Science); Biological Sciences; Geosciences; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; Education (STEM); and Multidisciplinary Research in these fields. Applicants identify and contact host researchers on their own, prior to submitting their EAPSI proposal; lists of prospective host institutions are available at the end of each Handbook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NSF provides EAPSI Fellows with a $5,000 stipend and roundtrip airplane ticket to the host location.
