The Governor’s Office of Workforce Innovation (GOWINN) is launching the inaugural NPWR Research Grants that has available $100,000 to support research studying Nevada’s most challenging policy problems in the areas of workforce development, economic diversification, and education. The goal for this grant is for it to be awarded to up to 10 collaborative research projects between January and June 30, 2023, with the hope of continued funding into the future. This research will be published and made publicly available in GOWINN’s annual NPWR Research Agenda.
Applications are accepted by Kristen Dwyer, kdwyer@detr.nv.gov, on a rolling basis, with the plan to announce initial funded projects by the end of February 2023.
An Informational Session session recording will be shared on the NPWR website.

Nevada EPSCoR HDRFS Seed Grants |
|
The NSF EPSCoR RII Track-1: Harnessing the Data Revolution for Fire Science (HDRFS) project has released a Request for Proposals for 2023-2024 Seed Grants. The overarching goal of the HDRFS project is to increase the capacity of Nevada for wildland fire research, education, and workforce development and to demonstrate this increased capacity through fire research in the regionally important sagebrush ecosystem.
HDRFS will engage faculty in areas related to, but not recognized in, the current research to provide new opportunities and pursue high-risk, high-impact research. HDRFS seed funding is not intended to provide a substitute for NSF individual investigator funding. Seed grant funding will provide strategic mechanisms for additional research, education, and workforce development (E-WFD), and sustainability in relevant areas and will provide proof of principle results needed to secure external funding. Research areas should align with the 2020 NSHE Science and Technology Plan (S&T). Research areas may include, but aren’t limited to:
- Ecology (Eco)
- Hydrology (Hydro)
- Fire Processes (FP)
- Fire Emissions and their Atmospheric Aging (FEAA)
- Cyberinfrastructure Innovations (CII)
- Education and Workforce Development (E-WFD
- Broadening Participation (BP)
