Congress finds the following: The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program is the nation’s oldest fellowship program that directly supports American graduate students in various STEM fields and is a model for training the best innovators in the United States. Since 1952, NSF has funded over 50,000 Graduate Research Fellowships out of more than 500,000 applicants, 42 Fellows have gone on to become Nobel laureates, and more than 450 have become members of the National Academy of Sciences.
Foreign nations are increasingly investing in foreign talent programs to compete with the United States. It is the sense of Congress that the National Science Foundation should grow the number of new graduate research fellows supported annually over the next 10 years to no less than 2,500 fellows. Section 10 of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 ( 42 U.S.C. 1869 ) is amended— in subsection (a), by inserting and as will address national workforce demand in critical STEM fields after throughout the United States ; in subsection (b), by striking of $12,000 and inserting sufficient to cover full tuition and mandatory fees ; and by adding at the end the following:
The Director shall ensure program outreach to recruit fellowship applicants from fields of study that are in areas of critical national need, from all regions of the country, and from historically underrepresented populations in STEM. .
