The NSF East Asia Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) Program provides US
graduate students in science and engineering with:
1) first-hand research experience in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New
Zealand, or Taiwan;
2) an introduction to the science and science policy infrastructure of
the respective location; and
3) orientation to the society, culture, and language.
The primary goals of EAPSI are to introduce students to East Asia and
Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research laboratory
and to initiate personal relationships that will better enable them to
collaborate with foreign counterparts in the future. The institutes last
approximately eight weeks from June to August. The National Institutes
of Health (NIH) co-sponsor the Summer Institute in Japan.
The program is for US graduate students in:
- Biology
- Computer and Information Science and Engineering
- Cyberinfrastructure
- Education (in Science and Engineering)
- Engineering
- Environmental Research
- Geosciences
- Mathematical and Physical Sciences
- Polar Research
- Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences
Please note that EAPSI changes for 2007 include:
- New Zealand is added as an East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes
(EAPSI) location.
- The Award amount has been amended to reflect the increase in the
stipend amount to $4,000.
