MADE in SC PIs and participants have been very busy publishing their research – and they are gaining recognition for their work. Recently, MADE in SC Thrust 3 participant Dr. Konstantin (Kostya) Kornev’s publication in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, entitled, “Self-assembly of the butterfly proboscis: the role of capillary forces” was featured in Nature under the title of “Why spit is key to building a butterfly.”

- MCC: Multiscale Modeling and Computation Core
- Thrust 1: Optical, Electrochemical and Magnetic Materials
- Thrust 2: Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Materials
- Thrust 3: Biomaterials

The SC EPSCoR website is being updated with several new features. One of these features is the PI Info menu item which contains a collection of information for principal investigators. This includes:
Portal Login: This provides access to the SC EPSCoR Portal that allows any faculty member to submit proposals in response to solicitations such as GEAR, SAN, etc. Those who are not registered should follow the instructions online for registration. The Portal also has a component for faculty who are participants of a project to contribute information to the project’s research report. A new addition to the Portal is for external proposal reviewers.
Domestic Travel Policy: This explains the travel policy for SC EPSCoR-funded projects.
Acknowledgement of NSF Support: All products resulting from the MADE in SC project must acknowledge NSF support. This link provides the text for the acknowledgment.
Procedure for Requesting Budget Revisions (MADE in SC-funded projects): This procedure must be used for requesting changes to the approved budget of any award or subaward made by the SC EPSCoR Program.
Speaker Tips: This link is a collection of useful hints and tips to speakers.

SC EPSCoR Program is pleased to announce that two South Carolina researchers have received funding as part of a NSF EPSCoR RII Track-2 team with a lead principal investigator from another NSF jurisdiction. Clemson University’s Christopher McMahan and Rajandeep Sekton are co-PIs on the Track-2 award entitled, “A Multiscale, Multiphysics Modeling Framework for Genome-to Phenome Mapping via Intermediate Phenotypes.” Lead PI on the award is Dr. Seth DeBolt, Department of Horticulture, University of Kentucky. read more >>
 With the recent release of the FY19 Track-2 solicitation, Researchers will be looking for team members. To help in finding collaborators, we have expanded our Research Expertise Profiles database from SC-only to nationwide and contacted all of the other jurisdictions. Make sure you are in the database and your information is correct!
