NSF EPSCoR has recently released the FY19 Track-2 solicitation on “Harnessing the Data Revolution to solve problems of national importance.” Only one proposal (as Lead PI) per institution is allowed, and a Letter of Intent (LOI) is due to NSF by Monday, November 26.
These awards require collaboration with other EPSCoR jurisdictions. The amount of an award increases with the number of collaborating jurisdictions on the project. NSF limits a researcher to be the PI or Co-PI on one Track-2 grant.
To help in finding collaborators, SC EPSCoR has expanded the Research Expertise Profiles database by inviting all other EPSCoR jurisdictions to encourage faculty registration. Make sure you are in the database and your information is correct!
All interested South Carolina institutions are encouraged to conduct an internal selection process to identify the most competitive research idea from their faculty and submit
a LOI to NSF. Each institution that submits a LOI to NSF can receive SC EPSCoR proposal development funds by emailing
April Heyward, SC EPSCoR Program Manager, by Tuesday, November 27, 2018.
