Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

This means individuals in the following statuses at the time of application are eligible: Undergraduate in the final (senior) year of a bachelor’s degree program Bachelor’s degree-holder with NO enrollment in a graduate degree program (non-degree graduate coursework allowed) Individual enrolled in a joint bachelor’s-master’s degree program with at least three undergraduate years completed First-year graduate student in their first graduate degree program with less than one academic year completed in the degree program (according to institution’s academic calendar) Individuals enrolled in joint bachelor’s-master’s degree programs are considered graduate students. For GRFP, joint bachelor’s-master’s degrees are defined as degrees concurrently pursued and awarded. Not be a current NSF employee. Applications that do not meet eligibility requirements will be returned without review as being ineligible for a fellowship.

This week we welcomed Salmah Jombela, our newest PhD student in the A.P.E lab. Salmah joins us from Uganda where she did amazing work on primate conservation in Kibale National Park! We are so excited for her to join our lab!

The Captive Primate Safety Act would prohibit the private possession, breeding, and sale of nonhuman primates at a federal level. It is about time we banned the primate pet trade in the U.S. www.npr.org/2025/07/02/n...

Captive Primate Safety Act aims to curb illegal pet trade in the U.S.

Wildlife trafficking is one of the world's biggest illegal trades, and the U.S. creates much of the demand for pet primates. Now there's a proposed ban on privately owning and breeding these animals.
