[Poscgrad] Call for GRMP, DYP, & HSI Fellowships

[Marissa Brookes]

Dear POSC Graduate Students,



I am writing to inform you of the call for applications and upcoming
deadline for Graduate Division's competitive fellowship awards for 2023-24:
the Graduate Research Mentoring Program (GRMP) Award, the Dissertation Year
Program (DYP) Award, and the UC Hispanic-Serving Institutions Doctoral
Diversity Initiative Award.



*GRMP & DYP*



1. As in past years, the Department is inviting applications for the GRMP
and DYP fellowships.

The GRMP application is here: https://grad.ucr.edu/register/GRMP_Award_App

The DYP application is here: https://grad.ucr.edu/register/DYP_Award_App



Applications are due *no later than 5:00 PM on January 23. *Please note
that this date is an internal POSC deadline and therefore *EARLIER* than
the one listed in the attached PDF.  The POSC Graduate Committee will
review the applications and nominate candidates to Graduate Division.



Please read the attached application guidelines thoroughly before beginning
your application. The Committee emphasizes generating *a high-quality
proposal*. Attached is advice for writing a strong proposal. In writing
your proposal, we encourage you to *prioritize the advice of the POSC
Graduate Committee*, as conveyed in the attached document, while also
fulfilling the criteria set out by Grad Division on the official online
form. We strongly encourage students to submit draft proposals to faculty
advisors and incorporate their feedback before submitting their proposals.



Also, please note Graduate Division's *eligibility criteria* for GRMP and
DYP:



*“Must be making acceptable progress for a PhD student: i.e., advanced to
candidacy within 15 quarters after entry and must complete the degree by
the normative time to degree for the particular program plus 1 year at time
of degree.”*



*Normative time to degree in our department is six years*.  Therefore, any
candidate who would be beyond normative time plus one year (that is, 7
years of enrollment) during their fellowship quarter would not be eligible
to apply. Here, it is important to note that each student’s total
enrollment may be counted differently if there are enrollment
irregularities in their previous history:



·      If a student is enrolled or on filing fee, these quarters counts
toward normative time.

·      Students "In absentia" are enrolled, so these quarters count toward
normative time.

·      Students on half-time status are enrolled half-time, so these
quarters are counted as 0.5 instead of 1.

·      Students on leave, “Ready to Enroll” (RD) status, or Withdrawn are
not active—these quarters do not count towards normative time.



Before deciding to apply, please calculate your own normative time
eligibility correctly, based on the above criteria.





*UC-HSI *



2.  In addition to (and separate from) the above, POSC will nominate one
student for a new competitive award: the UC-HSI DDI President’s
Pre-Professoriate Fellow. This initiative is part of the UC
Hispanic-Serving Institutions Doctoral Diversity Initiative.
These Pre-Professoriate Fellows need to have received their undergraduate
degree from an HSI institution, have advanced to candidacy and must have a
demonstrated record of advancing issues of inclusion, equity and diversity.



Again, please note that all applications are due *no later than 5:00 PM on
January 23. *This is an internal POSC deadline that is *EARLIER* than the
one listed online.



Applicants must use the following forms:



The GRMP application is here: https://grad.ucr.edu/register/GRMP_Award_App

The DYP application is here: https://grad.ucr.edu/register/DYP_Award_App

The HSI application is here: https://grad.ucr.edu/register/HSI_Award_App
