Dear SCISIP community,
We’re happy to announce a new challenge at the National Science Foundation that solicits STEM graduate students to share their ideas about improving graduate
education. It’s called the Innovation in Graduate Education Challenge. We hope you will spread the word to graduate students about this opportunity, so that they can participate in the national dialogue about the future of graduate education.
Information can be found at www.nsf.gov/gradchallenge/. Email [log in to unmask] for
more information.
Please take a minute to share this opportunity with STEM graduate students by forwarding the email below.
Thank you,

Calling Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Graduate Students:
Have you ever thought of ways to improve STEM graduate education? Do you have a creative idea regarding graduate training? If so, NSF wants to hear from you!
The National Science Foundation Innovation in Graduate Education Challenge is calling for entries from currently enrolled STEM graduate students and teams.
They are invited to submit innovative ideas to prepare today’s graduate students for tomorrow’s opportunities and challenges. Entries are solicited for ideas with the potential to improve graduate education and professional development. Ideas can be directed
toward students, faculty, departments, institutions, professional societies, and/or federal agencies. Winning ideas will be shared widely and winners will receive prizes between $1000 and $3000.
For more information and to enter the challenge, go to www.nsf.gov/gradchallenge/
Entry deadline is April 15th! Make your voice heard on STEM graduate education!
