Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP)

NASA's GSRP cultivates research ties to the academic community and broadens the base of students pursuing advanced degrees in science, mathematics and engineering. Earth science research opportunities for graduate students are available at NASA Centers, including: Ames Research Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Langley Research Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, and Stennis Space Center. Full descriptions of research areas that will be supported are provided on the GSRP Web site. Note that the GSRP also supports the Earth System Science Fellowship Program with NASA Headquarters.

Fellowships are awarded for one year as training grants not to exceed $24,000 and are renewable for a total of three years based on satisfactory academic advancement, research progress, and available funding. All applicants must be U.S. citizens currently enrolled or accepted as full-time graduate students in an accredited U.S. college or university. All applicants must have a faculty adviser from the institution where they plan to receive their graduate degree. An individual accepting this award may not concurrently receive other Federal fellowships or traineeships.
