[OT] Nature: NSF slashes prestigious PhD fellowship awards by half https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01098-9 #NSF #GRFP #DOGE

I have a terrific mentee looking to write a GRFP this cycle. Their research ideas are interdisciplinary; they’re interested in asking social-ecological questions. Does anyone have examples of funded proposals of this nature. They are thinking of blending research on restorative social practices / community agriculture and microbial diversity / ecology. Please forward to others working in these spheres that could help advise or who have examples. Thanks! #NSF #GRFP

Today is going to be mostly student meetings. It’s good to be able to check in and many of them are thinking #GRFP applications. Should be fun to think big.

As #NSF #GRFP application windows open, potential applicants should check out this amazing repository of previous applications. A great reference to help calibrate before application preparation. And don't forget about #NDSEG too!!

If I had some sweet #GRFP money, I'd study the oxytocinergic effects of live music
