Funding opportunities

An NSF Proposal Resubmission Program is available providing 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 18 months. We encourage individuals with highly rated but unfunded proposals of all sizes and in all NSF Directorates to apply.

The ND EPSCoR State Office is accepting proposals to fund STEM outreach activities lead by institutions of higher education, STEM science museums, and/or technology parks located in North Dakota. Strengthening and broadening the STEM pathway is a core goal of ND EPSCoR. Proposals will be accepted that focus on activities that build stronger STEM education and STEM identity for youth in the state.

ND EPSCoR seeks to provide STEM research seed awards of up to $60,000 in direct costs (state funds, indirect costs not allowed) to researchers at ND institutions of higher education. Funding will be provided to faculty for the specific purpose of generating preliminary data needed to support the preparation of a STEM proposal for submission to a federal agency. Funds may be used for materials and supplies, student support (undergraduate and graduate), and operating services (e.g., recharge center fees for sample analysis).

NSF encourages researchers in EPSCoR jurisdictions to submit investigator-initiated proposals.
