Glad you reciprocate this mentality. I imagine I'm not the first to do this either....yet neither school has specific advice (and big schools at that, U Florida and U British Columbia). Can't say that either advisor/department/institution is completely thrilled about the idea either, as they want me to bring the grant just to their institution...

Hi all, has anyone heard of someone bringing the GRFP to a non-US school, with affiliation with a US institution? The FAQ and 2018-2020 solicitation suggest this is possible, but provide no guidance on how to navigate or what qualifies as "affiliation." I'll likely reach out to an NSF program manager, but my guess is that the rules might be a little loose here, and going into that conversation knowing what has occurred before may improve my chances of pulling it off. Thanks all! To those that worked extremely hard on their applications and didn't get it, you deserve the award and it's a crapshoot who gets it. As has been said on this thread, it doesn't make you any worse of a scientist at all, just an unlucky scientist. To those of who DID get it: congratulations. But more importantly, use this chance and privilege to help others as much as possible. Post your essay and proposal, post your reviews, write blog posts on how you approach the application. It's the least we can do for others.
