Synopsis

The objective of the International Research Fellowship Program (IRFP) is to introduce scientists and engineers in the early stages of their careers to international collaborative research opportunities, thereby furthering their research capacity and global perspective and forging long-term relationships with scientists, technologists and engineers abroad. These awards are available in any field of science and engineering research and education supported by the NSF.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) has realigned the way it provides funding for international postdoctoral research fellowships.  Proposals will no longer be received by OISE's International Research Fellowship Program (IRFP). The IRFP program has been discontinued as of FY18.

Those seeking fellowship opportunities at NSF should consult the relevant NSF Directorate, and submit them directly to one of those directorate's fellowship programs (see NSF FastLane list of postdoctoral research fellowship programs).
