NSF 17-091
Dear Colleague Letter: Non-Academic Research Internships for Graduate
Students (INTERN) Supplemental Funding
May 22, 2017
Dear Colleague:
NSF has identified improvement of graduate student preparedness for the
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce as one
of its priorities. As part of this effort, a supplemental funding
opportunity is available in fiscal year (FY) 2018 and FY 2019 to provide
support for non-academic research internships for graduate students to
support career opportunities in any sector of the U.S. economy. NSF
currently invests in a number of graduate student preparedness
activities and has historically encouraged principal investigators (PIs)
to include such activities in research proposals to NSF. This Dear
Colleague Letter (DCL) describes new commitments and funding
opportunities at NSF to ensure graduate students are prepared for the
21st-century STEM workforce.
BACKGROUND
With rapidly accelerating changes in technology driven global and
national economies, today's graduate students have a wide choice of
career paths to pursue over their professional lives. Graduate students
have the potential to make important contributions in careers outside
academia: in organizations ranging from startups to large corporations;
government agencies, and non-profit organizations. The 2016 Science and
Engineering Indicators report shows that 55% of doctoral STEM graduates
and 79% of master's-level graduates are in non-academic employment1. It
is therefore important that graduate students supported by NSF grants be
provided opportunities to develop skills that prepare them to be
successful for a broad range of academic and non-academic career paths.
In addition to deep and broad preparation in their technical areas of
expertise, skills and knowledge regarding communication, innovation and
entrepreneurship, leadership and management, policy and outreach are
becoming increasingly valuable to enter any sector of the workforce.
SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
NSF will provide support for supplements to current NSF grants awarded
by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), Directorate
for Engineering (ENG), and Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC)
within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and
Engineering (CISE), to enhance professional development opportunities
for graduate students as described below. Supplements to existing NSF
awards will enable the PIs of grants to request up to six months of
additional support for graduate students to pursue new activities aimed
at acquiring professional development experience that will enhance their
preparation for multiple career pathways after graduation.
These supplements could provide graduate students with the opportunity
to augment their research assistantships with additional non-academic
research internship activities and training opportunities that will
complement their academic research training. PIs are encouraged to
involve graduate students from groups that have traditionally been
underrepresented and underserved in the STEM enterprise: women, persons
with disabilities, African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic Americans,
American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Native Pacific
Islanders, and persons from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Grantees are also encouraged to include NSF Graduate Research Fellows
and Honorable Mentions in their proposals.
Each supplemental funding request must include the INTERN DCL title and
number in the summary section of the request.
INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED
The PI of an active NSF award may request supplemental funding for one
or more graduate students to gain knowledge, skills and experiences that
will augment his/her preparation for a successful long-term career
through an internship in a non-academic setting, including the following:
Industry laboratories or industry research and development groups;
Start-ups, such as (but not limited to) those funded through the NSF's
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and Small Business
Technology Transfer (STTR) program;
Government agencies and National Laboratories;
Policy think-tanks; and
Non-profit organizations.
PIs are encouraged to discuss with the cognizant NSF program director
activities that are synergistic with the project scope. It is expected
that the graduate student and the PI on the NSF grant will work together
to identify innovative experiences that add the most educational value
for the graduate student. Further, it is expected that the internship
on-site at the host organization, will be research-focused in a STEM
field or in STEM educational research. Additionally, OAC expects
multi-disciplinary activities that pursue development of innovative
cyberinfrastructure approaches specific to advancing science and
engineering research.
ELIGIBILITY
This supplemental funding opportunity is open to PIs supporting graduate
students with an active NSF award; note, however, that OAC will only
support graduate students who are doctoral candidates. Graduate students
must have completed at least one year in their graduate programs and be
making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees.
SUPPLEMENT FUNDING REQUEST PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS AND ALLOWABLE COSTS
Supplemental funding requests must be prepared in accordance with the
following requirements:
Two-page summary describing the internship. The request must include a
concise statement from the student describing how the activity will
better prepare him/her to enter the workforce.
One-page resume of the student with the following information:
Professional Preparation
Institution
Major
Year of study
Academic/Professional Appointments
Publications/Products (most closely related)
Publications/Products (other)
Synergistic Activities/Research Experience
Collaborators
We encourage students supported by funding described in this DCL to
register for an ORCID ID and for this identifier to be provided to NSF
in the PI's annual project report. ORCID® (http://orcid.org) is an open,
non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of
unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking
research activities and outputs to these identifiers. An ORCID
identifier provides a unique and persistent digital identifier to
distinguish individual researchers. While NSF encourages the use of an
ORCID ID, submission of the ORCID ID is optional.
Letter of collaboration from an authorized official at the host
organization describing the internship opportunity and mentorship to be
provided to the student during the internship. This letter should
include a statement confirming that neither the graduate student nor the
PI has a financial interest in the organization hosting the internship.
Letter from the PI requesting supplemental funding through this DCL
confirming that the student meets the eligibility requirements specified
in this DCL. The letter must describe how the proposed internship
activity will contribute to the student's graduate education experience
and how it may impact time to degree.
The NSF awardee and the organization hosting the graduate student must
agree in advance as to how intellectual property (IP) rights will be
handled. A signed agreement on IP (including publication and patent
rights) must be submitted before the supplemental funding will be
awarded. NSF will examine this document to ensure that the graduation of
students will not be unduly affected. NSF is responsible neither for the
agreement reached nor the IP information exchanged between the NSF
awardee and the host organization.
PERIOD OF SUPPORT
The supplement will provide up to six months of support for an
internship. Up to two supplemental requests may be made on a grant to
allow the student two internship periods up to six months each (i.e., a
maximum of 12 months per student).
SUPPLEMENT FUNDING AMOUNT
The amount of funding requested should not exceed $50,000 per student
per six month period or 20% of the original award total (whichever is
lower).
NSF plans to fund up to approximately 75 supplements each in FY 2018 and
FY 2019, depending on availability of funds.
SUBMISSION DEADLINES
All supplemental funding requests must be received by June 23, 2017 to
be reviewed for possible funding using available fiscal year (FY) 2017
funds. In FY 2018, all submissions received on or before June 1st, 2018
will be reviewed. In FY 2019, all submissions must be received by June
3rd, 2019. Supplemental funding requests may be submitted at any time
but no later than the deadlines stated above in each fiscal year.
ALLOWABLE EXPENSES
Funds may be used to support travel, tuition and fees, health insurance,
additional stipend and temporary relocation costs for the graduate
student. Spousal and dependent travel are not permitted. The grantee is
permitted to request indirect costs in accordance with their approved/negotiated
indirect cost rate. The total requested budget cannot exceed the limits
listed under the "Supplement funding amount" section above.
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW
Supplemental funding requests should be prepared and submitted in
accordance with the guidance in the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and
Procedures Guide (PAPPG), Part II: Award, Administration and Monitoring
of Grants and Cooperative Agreements, Chapter VI.E.4 (NSF 17-1). A PI on
an NSF grant should contact his/her cognizant program director prior to
submission. Requests for supplemental funding submitted in response to
this DCL will be reviewed internally by NSF Program Directors. All
supplements are subject to (a) the availability of funds, and (b) review
of the quality of the supplemental funding request.

* DCAL's Learning Community *
(Note we will start at 12:15 in June.) Practice makes perfect! For this
month’s LCFF, we will be discussing the dreaded chalk/research talks
used at job interviews. To better prepare ourselves, we will practice
how to teach our research to different people in forms of short, mock
chalk talks. Come practice and polish your pitches for job talks, chalk
talks, networking events, or family gatherings.
Come prepared with a short pitch to explain your current research to the
group (3-5 min)—and challenge yourself to use the whiteboard instead of
slides!
Please look at the following links to prepare your mock talks:

* EMAIL for Life - *
Alumni Email Transition
In 2011, Dartmouth decided to offer matriculated Dartmouth students an
e-mail address for life. This means that the address they get when they
matriculate at Dartmouth will be theirs to use for the rest of their
life. Since the vast majority of alumni already forward their Dartmouth
e-mail to free commercial e-mail services that better meet their needs –
and are much better at blocking spam and other unwanted messages -
Dartmouth made the decision to transition all alum.dartmouth.org
accounts to this dartmouth.edu "e-mail address for life" service as well.
By the end of 2013, Dartmouth will retire the College-administered
e-mail service used by some alumni (BlitzMail) and instead offer
Dartmouth.edu addresses to all alumni.
It is important to note that the "e-mail address for life" service is an
account with an e-mail address, but does NOT have a mailbox attached to
it. Dartmouth will provide you with the tools to forward your Dartmouth.edu
address to any other e-mail account you own, such as gmail or hotmail.
This means that you can give out your Dartmouth.edu address when you
start as a student and know that this address will always be yours – not
just for the time you are in Hanover.
To help you manage this change, the Alumni Help Desk (603) 646-3202,
will provide alumni with information (see below) on how to obtain, setup,
and configure free e-mail accounts that are offered by Microsoft or
Google. They will also assist with configuring those accounts to allow
you to send e-mail from your new Dartmouth.edu address. This will allow
you to receive and send mail from a Microsoft or Google account but
using a Dartmouth.edu address.
For graduating students: your e-mail address will stay the same but
approximately 60 days after commencement your mailbox will be removed.
Prior to this time, your dartmouth.edu address should be forwarded to a
non-Dartmouth account. Information will be sent to you during the spring
term regarding this transition, giving you time to migrate any messages
or contacts to another non-Dartmouth account.
8 Steps to a Successful E-mail Transition:
Know your NetID: When you log in you will be prompted for your NetID. If
you can't remember what it is, you can find it at http://login.dartmouth.edu.
Click the Lookup your NetID link on that page. In the window that
appears, type your first and last name. Do not press Enter. If more than
one account is displayed, click on the line with your complete name.
Your NetID will appear.
Set Forwarding on Your Account: Log into Dartmouth's Directory Manager
system (dartdm.dartmouth.edu) and set the forwarding on your account to
another non-Dartmouth e-mail address that you own.
Migrate Any Messages You Want Retained: If you have used BlitzMail in
the past, log into your alum.dartmouth.org account and review any
messages there. If there are any you want to keep, forward them to your
non-Dartmouth account.
Migrate Any Addresses You Want Retained: If you have used BlitzMail in
the past, log into your alum.dartmouth.org account and review the
personal mailing lists you have there. Set up these same mailing lists
in your non-Dartmouth account and test those lists to ensure you
transferred the addresses correctly.
Remove BlitzMail from any Computers Your Own: Once your transition date
arrives, remove the BlitzMail application from any computer you own so
that you don't accidently log back into your alum.dartmouth.org account
and wonder where all your new mail is.
Watch for e-mail updates for specific information informing you of your
transition date. We will be sending you more detailed e-mails, including
the date on which your account will transition. After this date, if you
have not set forwarding on your account, e-mail sent to your alum.dartmouth.org
account will be returned to the sender as undeliverable.
Have a mobile device (smartphone, iPad, etc.)? Delete your alum.dartmouth.org
and/or Dartmouth.edu account from this device before your transition
date.
Update your contact information with your new Dartmouth.edu address. If
you have your alum.dartmouth.org e-mail address on any business cards,
resumes, etc. update those places to reflect your new Dartmouth.edu
address.
