Kentucky NSF EPSCoR Research Scholars Program (RSP)

KY NSF EPSCoR is accepting applications for the RSP. The program seeks to support the research involvement of outstanding students who are underrepresented in science majors.  Women, racial/ethnic minorities, the disabled, and students from Appalachian Kentucky counties are encouraged to participate.  Students enrolled at any Kentucky post-secondary institution are eligible to apply.

Interested students can receive up to $5,000 per calendar year to support their involvement in the research of the KY NSF EPSCoR initiative areas.  The award must be used to directly support the student (via wages, stipends, travel, supplies, or some other direct form of support).  The proposed budget and activities are at the discretion of the mentor faculty.  KY NSF EPSCoR has a wide breadth of S&T focus areas, which include: advanced materials, cellular and molecular engineering platforms, micro/nano technology, ecological genomics and environmental science.  Students must be nominated by a mentor faculty. Applications must be submitted by a mentor faculty on the student’s behalf.
