FYI- Deadline Approaching for Applications Are you planning to submit NASA GSRP applications? GSRP general requirements NASA GSRP applications are due February 1, 2009. All new and renewal applications must follow the on-line application process at http://fellowships.hq.nasa.gov/gsrp/nav/. This is also the site for the online application. When the application has been submitted, the student will need to print out a complete copy for OSP. No later than the morning of January 26th, bring to OSP the proposal routing form, all pages of the printed application (including the cover page to be signed), the faculty advisor's letter of recommendation, and official transcripts. OSP will mail the signature form, letter, and transcripts to the required NASA address, or the student or department may send it. We will need a department Federal Express charge number if OSP is to submit the information. Please let me know in advance of anyone planning to submit a proposal, and let me know if you have any questions after going over the instructions. Because Feb. 1 is the deadline for a lot of other programs, please have the proposals ready to submit as early as possible, preferably no later than January 23rd. Following is additional information that will be needed when completing the online application form. GSRP Budget The fellowships provide $21,000 stipend, $6,000 student allowance for program related travel and other expenses, and $3,000 university allowance for a total of $30,000. Georgia Tech requires that the students be hired as GRAs and paid through the payroll system. Also, GT requires that tuition remission (currently $624 per month) be charged to the grant in proportion to the GRA salary that is charged to the grant. The $3,000 university allowance should be used for tuition remission. A partial waiver for the tuition remission amount exceeding $3,000 has been approved. The departments will need to determine for departmental purposes how salary in excess of $21,000 and other expenses that exceed the grant allowance will be covered. Students accepting awards may not receive concurrently other Federal funding. Students must be U.S. citizens.
