Description

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR): Workshop Opportunities". This grant aims to promote scientific progress nationwide by facilitating partnerships among academic institutions, government, industry, and non-profit sectors. The grant is designed to promote sustainable improvements in research infrastructure, Research and Development (R&D) capacity, and R&D competitiveness in EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions.

The EPSCoR Workshop Opportunities program welcomes proposals for workshops from institutions within EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions, such as states, territories, and commonwealths. These workshops should focus on innovative ways to address multi-jurisdictional efforts on themes of regional or national importance, aligning with the goals and mission of NSF and EPSCoR.

The grant has an estimated total program funding of $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000. It is expected that approximately 20 awards will be granted. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this grant.

For more information and to submit proposals, interested applicants can visit the NSF Publication 24-540 website. If there are any issues or questions regarding the funding announcement, applicants can contact NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.

Engineering Research Initiation
Active
National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Engineering Research Initiation" for the purpose of building engineering research capacity across the nation. This program aims to support new academic investigators who have not yet received sufficient research funding from Federal Agencies. The grant is specifically targeted towards investigators who are not affiliated with "very high research activity" R1 institutions, according to the Carnegie Classification. The funding will be used to support these investigators as they initiate their research programs and advance in their careers as researchers, educators, and innovators. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The total program funding is estimated to be $11,000,000, with an award floor of $200,000. The grant opportunity is open to institutions of higher education (IHEs) that are not currently classified as a Doctoral University with "Very High Research Activity" (R1 institutions) according to the 2021 Carnegie Classification. The participation of non-R1 institutions from diverse talent in STEM, including historically under-represented or under-served populations, is encouraged. The Principal Investigator (PI) of the proposal must hold a doctoral degree in a field supported by NSF and must hold an appointment at an ERI-eligible institution. The PI must not have been a PI or Co-PI on any current or prior awarded NSF research grant or have had research support from any other Federal Agency totaling $200,000 or more within the past five calendar years. The deadline for proposal submission is October 9, 2024. For more information and to submit a proposal, visit the NSF website at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf24590.
