FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Due to the number of teams interested in the University of Arkansas’ limited submission competition to the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship Program, the deadline for submitting material for internal evaluation will be Oct. 28.

The NSF Research Traineeship program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative models for graduate education training in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields – collectively known as STEM.
