surface4 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I have a friend who had ~10 publications as an undergrad, but all but 2 of them were with one of his parents (a scientist in the same field) as a coauthor. He still won a prestigious grad fellowship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIIC Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It should be very unlikely this gets carried to April 15th, right? My patience can’t handle it anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on applying to it in the future and I was wondering if I should reach out to NASA scientists in my field to be a mentor and set up a proposal.

I'm planning on applying to it in the future and I was wondering if I should reach out to NASA scientists in my field to be a mentor and set up a proposal. Thanks! The NSTGRO (NSTRF) does not involve a NASA mentor (or a letter of rec from someone at NASA). The application process is similar to most other fellowships. They changed it this year to require the university to submit your proposal if you were already in grad school, which made things a little more difficult, but that just requires some more communication with your PI. The OSE NASA fellowship does require a letter from a NASA employee, but that one usually doesn't start applications until January.
