Through the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), the National Science Foundation aims to ensure the vitality of the human resource base of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the United States and to reinforce its diversity by offering approximately 1,100 graduate fellowships to students in disciplines relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation. Women strongly are encouraged to apply for the GRFP. They also may be considered for the Women in Engineering (WENG) and Women in Computer & Information Science (WICS) components of the Program.

The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) seeks to educate American Ph.D. scientists and engineers who will pursue careers in research and education, with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, knowledge in chosen disciplines, and technical, professional and personal skills to become leaders and agents for change. Its Web site includes numerous programs listed by institution, by category of study, by keywords or by region of the United States.
