Funding opportunities

The NSF Proposal Resubmission Program provies PIs funds to access resources for improving an already highly-rated proposal for resubmission. The program funds can only be used for an unfunded proposal with reviews received within the past 6 months. We encourage individuals with highly rated but unfunded proposals of all sizes and in all NSF Directorates to apply.

To better support researchers in ND to build capacity and competitiveness through National Science Foundation (NSF) awards, especially the E-RISE and E-CORE, a pre-planning grant program is being offered for PUI and TCU institutions in ND. These awards are to initiate early-stage team building and project ideation by providing the necessary resources to convene and help catalyze collaborative, interdisciplinary, and interinstitutional conversations.
