Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) -- 60th Anniversary Celebration

Wednesday, December 5, 2012, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. EST

The GRFP is NSF's flagship program for graduate students in STEM. On this occasion, NSF will recognize current and past GRF's, acknowledge the impact of this support on their later work, and emphasize the value of a quality graduate STEM education. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1997, GRFP recipient in 1970, and Robert Zimmer, president, University of Chicago, member of the National Science Board and GRFP recipient in 1968, will be featured speakers. A major announcement about new opportunities for GRFs beyond our borders will be made and we will also announce the winners of a video contest, which challenged current fellows to tell us in 90 seconds how their research could shape the future.
