The National Science Foundation (NSF) is currently accepting
applications to the East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI)
program for the summer of 2010. The deadline to submit an application is
Tuesday, 8 December 2009.

The goals of EAPSI are to introduce U.S. graduate students to East Asia
and Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research
setting, and to help students initiate scientific relationships that
will better enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts.
Selected students participate in research experiences at host
laboratories in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore,
or Taiwan. All institutes, except Japan, last approximately 8 weeks from
June to August. Japan lasts approximately 10 weeks from June to August.
Further information on the program may be obtained online at:

EAPSI will support the following fields of study:

- Biological Sciences
- Computer and Information Science and Engineering
- Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
- Engineering
- Geosciences
- Mathematical and Physical Sciences
- Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences
- Environmental Research
- Multidisciplinary Research

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

- U.S. citizen or permanent resident;
- Enrolled in a research-oriented Master's or PhD degree program
(including joint degree programs);
- Students enrolled in joint Bachelor/Master's programs must have
graduated from the undergraduate degree (if the student's
institution considers them in graduate status, that student is
eligible);
- Enrolled at a U.S. institution in the United States; and
- Pursuing studies in fields of science and engineering research and
education supported by NSF.

To apply for this opportunity, the applicant must first register as an
individual researcher on the NSF FastLane system, available at:
