NV NASA EPSCoR FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

2020 National NASA EPSCoR Research CAN

Nevada NASA EPSCoR requests Letter of Intent (LOI) and Pre-proposals for the National NASA EPSCoR Research CAN

Letter of Intent Due: August 26, 2019, 5:00 pm PT

Pre-Proposal Due: October 1, 2019, 5:00 pm PT

The National NASA EPSCoR Program has revised the schedule for the Research Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) once again. It is anticipated that the National NASA EPSCoR CAN solicitation will be released in mid-November 2019 with a single full proposal submission due in early February 2020. To allow sufficient time to select and develop a single strong full proposal from Nevada, a letter of intent and pre-proposals are being solicited in advance of the Federal CAN release. The LOIs will be used to select review panel members for pre-proposal competitive external review that will result in the selection of one pre-proposal that will advance to full proposal development. Note: the National NASA EPSCoR CAN will only permit one full proposal submission per EPSCoR state.

Eligibility: Faculty at NSHE institutions, particularly junior faculty, women, and members of other underrepresented populations are encouraged to apply. Faculty who have a current National NASA EPSCoR Research CAN project are not eligible to apply while their project is on-going. Pre-proposals must include Co-PIs from at least three NSHE institutions.

Funding: The NASA EPSCoR Research CAN will provide an award of $1,125,000 total for a three-year period with the expectation of a 2:1 match; i.e., $750K in Federal funds and $375K in state matching funds (contingent on matching fund availability) and/or institutional match.

The fair is held in conjunction with the conclusion of the ORNL summer undergraduate student programs to capitalize on this brimming talent pool. Over 200 undergraduate students from across the country will present posters of their research covering a wide variety of STEM fields. We do hope you will attend or have others represent your institution to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to attract top-flight students to your institution’s graduate programs.

EVENT REGISTRATION: There will be a limit of one table/four people per institution. Table location will be assigned upon arrival. Register each attendee at https://orausurvey.orau.org/n/gradstudentfair2019.aspx to reserve a table and receive ORNL badge access. Only those who register will receive badge access. Be aware that increased security concerns require that you have early approval to access ORNL.
