Recommended Core Research Skill for GRAs
Reading & Critical Thinking: How to read scientific papers?
* Reading and critical thinking are the most fundamental skills for a scientist. Intentionally training yourself while reading journal articles is key.
Writing and Presentation: Eloquent Science: A Practical Guide to Becoming a Better Writer, Speaker, & Atmospheric Scientist
* I wish to read this book earlier.
Be brave to explore and apply the knowledge to solve real-world problems
* Holding a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset when facing challenges. Every challenge represents an opportunity. So, stay strong and never give up!!
Fellowship Opportunities
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) [ Reopen in fall semester]
* GRFP is for Y1 or Y2 graduate students pursuing a research-based Master’s or Ph.D. program in a GRFP-supported field.
UCAR Next Generation graduate Fellowship [Due May 31st, 2025]
* For graduate students at Y2 or longer to build a collaboration between a graduate student (the Fellow) and their track mentors (UCAR and NSF NCAR experts). The primary goals of this program are to facilitate engaged, motivated “Next Generation” students in exploring the intersections between science and society, and to support Fellows in becoming future leaders in the field of atmospheric and Earth System Sciences
AMS Graduate Fellowship [Typically due in Jan]
*For the first-year graduate student pursuing a degree in atmospheric sciences or related sciences (Students with a Master's degree are not eligible).
NCAR Advanced Study Program (ASP) Graduate Visitor Program (GVP) Fellowship [**Reopen in September **]
*The ASP GVP is designed to provide NSF NCAR staff opportunities to bring graduate students to NSF NCAR for 3 to 12-month collaborative visits with the endorsement of their thesis advisors and in pursuit of their thesis research.
*The WINGS Fellowship is designed for Ph.D. candidates who have completed their required coursework and are in the beginning stages of writing a dissertation. Focus on research relevant to NOAA's EPIC Program mission and accelerate improvements in NOAA's Unified Forecast System (UFS)
NASA FINESST F.5 Fellowship [Reopen early 2025]
*Designed for graduate student-designed and performed research projects that demonstrate the scientific significance to NASA. The graduate student shall have the primary initiative to define the proposed FINESST research project and must be the primary author, with input or supervision from the proposal's Principal Investigator (PI) or mentor. The proposal must present a well-defined research problem/activity and a justification of its scientific significance to NASA. FINESST awards are research grants for up to three years and up to $50K per year.
