AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how to answer a question regarding serving as a Principal Investigator (PI), Project Director (PD), Co-PI, or Co-PD on federally funded projects while applying for a grad school fellowship. Participants clarify that being an NSF REU fellow does not qualify as serving in those roles, as training grants are distinct from research grants. It is advised to confirm any uncertainties by contacting the program officer directly. The consensus is that the appropriate response to the question is "no." This information is crucial for applicants to accurately complete their fellowship applications.

"Are you currently serving (or have previously served) as PI, PD, Co-PI, or Co-PD on any federally funded project?"

Hey, y'all! I'm applying for a grad school fellowship, and I'm not sure how to answer this question. Would this include being an NSF REU fellow, or not? I believe not, but I want to be sure.

Thanks! :)

Usually not- training grants (REU fellowships, NIH K awards, etc) are not the same as research grants. If in doubt, simply email the program officer.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
