This is an NSF fellowship for individual early-career scientists, not a business grant. It funds research and training for US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents who earned a doctorate in the social, behavioral, or economic sciences within the past 3 years (or will within 12 months). Small businesses, for-profits, and anyone holding a tenure-track faculty appointment should not apply.

*Who May Serve as PI:
Fellowship candidates must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:
The proposer must be a U.S. citizen, national or legally admitted permanent resident alien of the United States as of the proposal deadline.
The proposer must have obtained a doctoral degree in the SBE scienceswithin the 3 years prior to the proposal deadline or will obtain a doctoral degree within 12 months after the proposal deadline but before the anticipated start date.

Note:It is anticipated that the research will be conducted at an institution other than the proposer's doctoral-granting or current postdoctoral fellowship institution. However, if the proposer chooses to remain at their current institution, the project description should include a strong justification detailing how this choice benefits their research and career development. There are no restrictions on the number of postdoctoral fellows a sponsoring scientist proposes to mentor.
Proposals that fail to meet the above eligibility requirements will be returned without review.
By signing and submitting the proposal, the fellowship candidate is certifying that they meet the eligibility criteria specified in this program solicitation. Willful provision of false information in this request and its supporting documents or in reports required under an ensuing award is a criminal offense (U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 1001).
