2018 Graduate Research Fellowship Program
National Science Foundation

The National Science Foundation (NSF) invites community members to
register as potential 2018 Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
panelists.
GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students pursuing
research-based masters and doctoral degrees in science or engineering at
accredited U.S. institutions. NSF seeks GRFP panels composed of
researchers and educators from a wide range of institutions, geographic
locations, and disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds.
Serving as a GRFP panelist is an excellent opportunity for community
members to apply their research and career expertise to help identify
future science and engineering leaders, and to gain valuable perspective
to share with faculty and students at their institutions. Panelists will
also receive a flat rate payment of $200.00 per day for each full
four-hour virtual panel session they attend. However, panelists who are
Federal employees, citizens of foreign countries who are not permanent
residents, and special visa holders are not entitled to the flat rate
payment.
Below are details of the 2018 panels:
- All reviews and panels will be conducted online without travel
requirements. There will be no on-site participation for the GRFP
panels; the panels are completely virtual. - In November, panelists must attend an orientation session webinar,
selecting one from several available sessions. This is required for both
new and returning panelists, as orienting information is subject to
change. - Panelists review graduate school-like applications that include one
three-page statement, one two-page statement, transcripts, and three
reference letters. - Each panelist will review approximately 30 assigned applications in
early December, over the course of about four weeks. - Panelists will enter their reviews and ratings online.
- In January 2018, panels will convene online using WebEx for two
virtual panel sessions scheduled on two different days (either Monday
and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday) to discuss the applicant pool and
make selection recommendations to NSF.
To be considered as a 2018 GRFP panelist, please register in the
panelist system found at: https://nsfgrfp.org/panelists.
If you have not been a GRFP panelist, you may create a new profile by
clicking "Create an account." If you have been a GRFP panelist, please
log in with your email address and password, and update your profile.
Registering in the panelist system or creating a profile does not commit
you to serving as a GRFP panelist. Based on anticipated needs, NSF will
send formal invitations to registered panelists starting in late
September.
NOTE: If you have a student applying for the 2018 GRFP program or you
will write a letter of recommendation for an applicant in a particular
field of study, we request that you do not register to be a panelist in
that field due to the conflict of interest. Since GRFP applicants are
early in their scientific training and are still developing their
interests, most panelists are qualified to review in a range of fields.
If you register in a particular field and subsequently learn of a
conflict of interest, please inform us so we can remove your name from
the list of potential panelists or attempt to place you on a different
panel.
NSF invites community members to share this opportunity to review GRFP
applications with their colleagues.
