Subject: NSF-NSC Summer Institute in Taiwan program
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
has recently announced the 2010 East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes
(EAPSI)
program and is accepting applications for U.S. graduate students to do
research in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore or Taiwan
for 8 weeks in the summer of 2010.
The Summer Institute in Taiwan is a joint program between the NSF in the
U.S. and the National Science Council (NSC 行政院國家科學委員會)
in Taiwan. It is a part of the NSF's EAPSI program which provides U.S.
graduate students in science and engineering with an opportunity to go to
Taiwan in the summer for eight weeks to participate in research projects in
the areas of their studies at the participating host institutions. Since the
program inaugurated in 2000, NSF and NSC have supported over 120 graduate
students. They participated in research works in Taiwan at the host
institutions such as National Taiwan University 台灣大學, National Tsing-Hua
University 清華大學, National Central University 中央大學, Academia Sinica 中央研究院,
National Center for High Performance Computing 國家高速網路與計算中心 , National
Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering 國家地震工程研究中心,
etc. The experience not only has enabled the students to expand the scope of
their scholarly works but also has helped them establish personal
relationship with scientists in Taiwan, thus better prepare them to
collaborate with foreign counterparts in the future.
Awardees will receive a $5,000 stipend, a round trip air ticket from NSF,
while the NSC in Taiwan will provide additional support to cover living
expenses during the period of the summer program. I would highly recommend
that you encourage your graduate students to take advantage of this
opportunity. I would also appreciate it if you would relay this message to
your colleagues and help post the announcement at your school's website. The
deadline for submitting application is December 8, 2009. Detail information
and a list of potential host institutions are available at NSF's website www.nsf.gov/eapsi or www.nsfsi.org.
Please forward this information to the members of CASPAF, thanks! If you have
any question regarding this program, you may either contact my office or
contact the EAPSI Help Desk.
