Additional information about the Northeast Regional Sun Grant Center is at https://agsci.psu.edu/research/sungrant.\nThese centers each facilitate federally funded research, extension, and education programs in their respective regions. These programs embrace the multi-institution, multi-state, multi-disciplinary integrated approach that is at the heart of the land-grant method of addressing problems.\nSUN GRANT PROGRAM - NORTHEAST REGION\nThe Northeast Regional Sun Grant Center (NE Sun Grant Center), located at The Pennsylvania State University (also referenced as Penn State University or PSU), carries out administrative functions for the northeastern region of the United States, composed of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia.\nAPPLICATION GUIDELINES for 2025-2026 NE Sun Grant Competitive Research Support\nThe NE Sun Grant Program requests proposals that focus on providing education and training to graduate students or post-doctoral trainees from a college or university within the Northeast Sun Grant Region who are conducting research benefiting the region or university under the guidance of a faculty mentor/faculty mentors. Funding will be awarded for graduate student assistantship support up to 7 months duration. At least 50% of the total federal funds awarded must go to student/trainee stipends, salary or wages. Tuition or tuition remission is allowable, according to the recipient university’s policy, and some funds can be designated for other direct costs within the maximum award amount of $60,000 including indirect costs (see below).\nDeadline\nApplications should be submitted as a single PDF (filename: “Last name_NESGP2026) via email to Stephen\nChmely at (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:smc6932@psu.edu\" \u0014smc6932@psu.edu\u0015) by Friday, January 16, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, using subject line: “NE Sun GrantReg2025_Last name”.
