I am a Continuing Fellow; may I change degree programs from computer engineering (major FOS) to computational biology (major FOS)?
This is a major change in FOS and constitutes a “change in scope” – one that alters the program to the extent that it is significantly different from that originally submitted with the Fellowship Application. Such changes require the prior written approval of the CO and NSF. Using the GRFP FastLane Module for submission, a change-in-scope request requires significant and compelling justifications for approval.
