[Joan Lawrence]

In case you have list serves, that might be interested in this opportunity: 
East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students (EAPSI) 
Full Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time): December
12, 2007 
Synopsis of Program: The East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes provide
U.S. graduate students in science and engineering: 1) first-hand research
experience in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or
Taiwan; 2) an introduction to the science and science policy infrastructure
of the respective location; and 3) orientation to the society, culture and
language. The primary goals of EAPSI are to introduce students to East Asia
and Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research setting,
and to help students initiate scientific relationships that will better
enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts. The institutes last
approximately eight weeks from June to August. 

* Applications are submitted directly by the individual graduate student,
unlike standard NSF proposals that are submitted through the principal
investigator's 

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria: 
* U.S. citizen or permanent resident; 
* Enrolled in a research-oriented master's or Ph.D. degree program at a U.S.
institution located in the United States; 
* Pursuing studies in fields of science and engineering research and
education supported by the National Science Foundation; and 

* Pursuing studies in fields that are supported by the foreign co-sponsoring
organization. Previous EAPSI awardees may not receive funding to the same
location (Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or Taiwan).

 Students selected for the program who are matriculated at the time of
application and subsequently graduate may still receive an award and
participate in the EAPSI program.
