Title:
Harriett G. Jenkins Pre-Doctoral Fellowship Project
(JPFP)
<br><br>
Sponsor: National
Aeronautics & Space Administration<br><br>
SYNOPSIS: This is one of the sponsor's workforce development<br>
projects for graduate students. It will incorporate science,<br>
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) activities at each of<br>
NASA’s field centers and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The
NASA<br>
JPFP targets students majoring in STEM disciplines that are from<br>
underrepresented/underserved groups, which includes women, ethnic<br>
minorities and persons with disabilities. The NASA JPFP annually<br>
offers a three-year fellowship for the Ph.D. program; two-year<br>
fellowship for the Master’s program and provides outstanding<br>
opportunities for research, mentoring and networking. Students must
be<br>
citizens of the United States at the time of application and must be<br>
enrolled or accepted in an accredited Master’s or Doctoral program
in<br>
a NASA-related discipline. <br><br>

OBJECTIVES: The following goals will guide the accomplishment
of<br>
this mission: To develop U.S. science, technology, engineering, and<br>
mathematics expertise in ethnic and gender groups that are currently<br>
underrepresented in the STEM workforce; To offset financial barriers<br>
for students underrepresented in STEM fields pursuing a graduate<br>
education; To provide hands-on research experiences at NASA Centers;<br>
To expose students to the salient aspects of professional and career<br>
development; and to develop students' skill sets and competence in<br>
applied science and engineering by providing collective and
individual<br>
outreach opportunities to the K-16 educational community. The<br>
applicant will administer a fellowship program comprised of a total
of<br>
sixty graduate students in the following fields: Aeronautics /<br>
Aerospace; Astronomy; Bioengineering; Biology; Chemistry; Computers
/<br>
Computer Science; Earth Sciences; Engineering; Environmental
Sciences;<br>
Materials Sciences; Mathematics; Physical Sciences; Physics;
Robotics;<br>
Science and/or Math Education; Education Administration. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
<p>Proposals will only be accepted from United States
(U.S.)<br>
not-for-profit education organizations that support post-secondary<br>
education and are considered leaders in college and university
student<br>
enrollment, retention, and workforce development performance with
U.S.<br>
accredited institutions of higher education. Individual colleges and<br>
universities are not eligible to apply, and are not eligible to
serve<br>
as proposal partners.</p><br><br>
FUNDING<br>
<p>The period of performance for the award resulting from
this<br>
solicitation is for three years. The sponsor expects to award one<br>
cooperative agreement under this Notice. The estimated annual value
of<br>
award to an individual nonprofit organization is approximately<br>
$2,400,000 per year. From this, fellowships are funded as follows:<br>
Masters program - $16,000/year; Ph.D. program - $22,000/year. This<br>
amount applies to stipend. In addition, Fellows will receive tuition<br>
offset payable to his/her academic institution in the amount up to<br>
$8,500/year, to be paid in equal installments through the academic<br>
year. (daj)</p><br><br>
