National Needs Graduate Fellowships Grants Program: The fellowships supported through the Food and Agricultural Sciences National Needs Graduate and Postgraduate Fellowship Grants Program (NNF) are intended to encourage outstanding students to pursue and complete graduate degrees in critical areas of national need, through graduate programs at eligible institutions. The fellowship support through this NNF program for graduate training provides a student stipend and a cost-of-education allowance to the institution. For the FY 2007 award cycle CSREES intends to support graduate Fellowship training grants for both Masters and doctoral levels of study. Also, Special International Study or Thesis/Dissertation Research Travel Allowances (IRTA) awards will provide support for eligible USDA Fellows to conduct thesis/dissertation research or to undertake studies at sites outside of the United States. IRTA awards for eligible USDA Fellows will only be available as provided for within this announcement. Post-doctoral Fellowships will not be awarded, under this grant announcement.
