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.

"Integrity is Never being Ashamed of your Reflection."

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.
