Another round of NSF Graduate Research Fellowships was announced yesterday and the handful of grad students who received awards (~12% of applicants) are probably still on cloud 9. If that's you, congratulations!
I applied for the Fellowship in 2013 and 2014. I received Honorable Mention my first year, made some changes to my proposal, then reapplied and was funded the following year. I thought I would share my judges comments and successful research proposal here for anyone thinking of applying or reapplying for the 2016 competition. Good luck!
