Video: NRT Informational Webinar

This webinar provided an overview of the NSF 24-597 NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) funding opportunity. This program supports interdisciplinary, evidence-based traineeships that advance ways for graduate students in research-based master's and doctoral degree programs to pursue a range of STEM careers.

This supplementary webinar focuses on Track 2 and Track 2 Planning Proposals for the NSF 24-597 NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) funding opportunity and serves to complement the more comprehensive overview of the program above. NRT proposals may be submitted under two tracks (i.e., Track 1 and Track 2). All projects should include a focus on STEM graduate students in research-based PhD and/or master's degree programs. Track 1 proposals may request a total budget up to $3 million for projects up to five years in duration; Track 2 proposals may request a total budget up to $2 million for projects up to five years in duration; NSF requires that Track 2 proposals focus on programs from institutions not classified as Doctoral Universities: Very High Research Activity (R1). Other requirements for Track 1 and Track 2 are identical. Proposals for planning grants are encouraged but not required to facilitate collaborative transdisciplinary and training activities in anticipation of submission of Track 2 proposals. Proposals for planning grants may be up to $100,00 per year and up to two years in duration.
