Funding

Funding and Other Resources 

Successful applicants in 2026 and 2027 receive NRT funding for one calendar year based on a competitive awards process.  Funding includes a $34,000 annual stipend, in-state level tuition, and fees (approximately $15,000).  NRT trainees have a dedicated office in a common space to facilitate effective transdisciplinary education and research. 

Eligibility

Funding is restricted to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been admitted into a graduate program at Portland State University. While MS students are considered, preference will be given to PhD students for admission to the program.
