The National Science Foundation Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is currently offering a collaborative funding opportunity within its RII Track-2 FEC grant program initiative. The RII Track-2 FEC grants are designed to build interjurisdictional collaborative teams of EPSCoR investigators in scientific focus areas consistent with NSF priorities. Projects are investigator-driven, have at least one co-PI and must include researchers from at least two RII-eligible jurisdictions. Proposals must describe a comprehensive and integrated vision to drive discovery and build sustainable Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) capacity. The education activities should seek to broaden participation of different types of individuals, institutions, and sectors. In addition, the development and support of diverse early-career faculty is critical to the sustainability of STEM capacity. Only one proposal can be submitted for a project. Separately submitted collaborative proposals are not allowed.
Researchers interested in participating in the FY 2016 RII Track-2 FEC process are invited to submit proposals on two topics:
1. Understanding the Brain; and
2. Sustainable Food, Energy, and Water Systems.
DUE DATES:
Letter of Intent Deadline Date: January 11, 2016
Full Proposal Deadline Date: February 4, 2016
