The Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) oversees the Developing Global Scientists and Engineers program, which provides high quality international research experiences for U.S. students. The Doctoral Dissertation Enhancement Projects (DDEP) component supports the dissertation research abroad of one doctoral student in collaboration with a foreign investigator. DDEP proposals must be submitted by the faculty advisor of the graduate student whose dissertation project is the subject of the proposal. Eligible students should be U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in Ph.D. programs at U.S. institutions who have advanced to candidacy before the submission date. Students from developing countries who are enrolled in Ph.D. programs at U.S. institutions may also apply, but preference is given to qualified U.S. applicants.
