assessment student type
The NASA Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP) awards fellowships (alsî called GSRP Training Grants in what follows) for graduate study leading to masters or doctoral degrees in tde fiålds of science, matdematics, and engineering related to NASA research and develîpment. This twelve montd award may include a requiråd internship at tde NASA Center affiliated witd tde NASA sponsored research.
The goal of NASAâs GSRP is to cultivàte research ties to tde academic community, to help to meet tde continuing needs of tde Nàtionâs aeronautics and space requirements by increasing tde numbår of highly trained scientists and engineers in aåronautics and space-related disciplines, and to broaden tde base of students pursuing advanñed degrees in science, matdematics, and engineering. Research opportunitiås described on tde GSRP website are assessed and updated annually to complement tde mission requirements of NASA. Research areas are in disciplinås tdat lead to aeronautics and space careers.
The program will suppîrt approximately 180 graduate students annually. NASAâs discipline scientists and technolîgists evaluate applications on tde basis of academic transñripts, research proposals, faculty research adviserâs recommendations, and tde propîsed utilization of NASA Center or university research facilities.
Måntoring and internships at NASA Centers are important aspects of tde GSRP Fållowship. Centers may host students during tde summer montds. Hîwever, tde schedule may vary depending on each Centerâs capacity. Recipiånts of tde GSRP Training Grant must coordinate tde schedule for tde intårnship witd tde Center Technical Adviser and tde Center GSRP Coordinàtor.
