EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Track 4: EPSCoR Research Fellows

EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Track 4: EPSCoR Research Fellows offers the following tracks: RII Track-4:NSF and RIITrack-4:Fellows Advancing Science and Technology (RII Track-4: FAST). While they are similar in achieving the same goals, RII Track-4:NSFis open to a broad community and RII Track-4:FAST focuses on faculty from specific institutions of higher education to collaborate withresearchers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) participating research centers. PIs that are eligible for both tracksmay apply for only one track per competition cycle.

Limit on Number of Proposals:

For RII Track-4:NSF: 3

For RII Track-4:FAST: 6

ADVANCE: Organizational Change for Gender Equity in STEM Academic Professions (ADVANCE)

The NSF ADVANCE program contributes to the National Science Foundation's goal of a more diverse and capable science and
engineering workforce.1 In this solicitation, the NSF ADVANCE program seeks to build on prior NSF ADVANCE work and other
research and literature concerning gender, racial, and ethnic equity. The NSF ADVANCE program goal is to broaden the
implementation of evidence-based systemic change strategies that promote equity for STEM2 faculty in academic workplaces and the
academic profession. The NSF ADVANCE program provides grants to enhance the systemic factors that support equity and inclusion
and to mitigate the systemic factors that create inequities in the academic profession and workplaces. Systemic (or organizational)
inequities may exist in areas such as policy and practice as well as in organizational culture and climate. For example, practices in
academic departments that result in the inequitable allocation of service or teaching assignments may impede research productivity,
delay advancement, and create a culture of differential treatment and rewards. Similarly, policies and procedures that do not mitigate
implicit bias in hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions could lead to women and racial and ethnic minorities being evaluated less
favorably, perpetuating historical under-participation in STEM academic careers and contributing to an academic climate that is not
inclusive.
All NSF ADVANCE proposals are expected to use intersectional approaches in the design of systemic change strategies in recognition
that gender, race and ethnicity do not exist in isolation from each other and from other categories of social identity. The solicitation
includes four funding tracks: Institutional Transformation (IT), Adaptation, Partnership, and Catalyst, in support of the NSF
ADVANCE program goal to broaden the implementation of systemic strategies that promote equity for STEM faculty in academic
workplaces and the academic profession.

Dartmouth can submit ONE proposal to IT-Preliminary, Adaptation, OR Catalyst

National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) Program

The NRT program addresses workforce development, emphasizing broad participation, and institutional capacity building needs in graduate
education. The program encourages proposals that involve strategic collaborations with the private sector, non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), government agencies, national laboratories, field stations, teaching and learning centers, informal science centers, and academic
partners. NRT especially welcomes proposals that include partnership with NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of
Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES) and leverage INCLUDES project efforts to develop STEM talent from
all sectors and groups in our society.

Proposals may be submitted under two tracks (i.e., Track 1 and Track 2).

Dartmouth may participate in only two (2) proposals per NRT competition as lead or collaborative non-lead. All Track 1 and/or Track 2 NRT proposals will be counted toward this total limit of two proposals per organization.

Team-Based Design in Biomedical Engineering Education (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This FOA seeks to support programs that  include innovative approaches to enhance biomedical engineering design education to ensure a future workforce that can meet the nation’s needs in biomedical research and healthcare technologies.  

Applications are encouraged from institutions that propose to establish new or to enhance existing team-based design courses or programs in undergraduate biomedical engineering departments or other degree-granting programs with biomedical engineering tracks/minors. This FOA targets the education of undergraduate biomedical engineering/bioengineering students in a team-based environment. While current best practices such as multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary education, introduction to the regulatory pathway and other issues related to the commercialization of medical devices, and clinical immersion remain encouraged components of a strong BME program, this FOA also challenges institutions to propose other novel, innovative and/or ground-breaking activities that can form the basis of the next generation of biomedical engineering design education.  

Dartmouth may submit one application.

DOE Flow Battery Systems Manufacturing

NSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)

PFI has five broad goals: (1) identifying and supporting NSF-sponsored research and technologies that have the potential for accelerated commercialization; (2) supporting prior or current NSF-sponsored researchers, institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations that partner with an institution of higher education to undertake proof-of-concept work, including the development of technology prototypes that are derived from NSF-funded research and have potential market value; (3) promoting sustainable partnerships between NSF-funded institutions, industry, and other organizations within academia and the private sector with the purpose of accelerating the transfer of technology; (4) developing multi-disciplinary innovation ecosystems which involve and are responsive to the specific needs of academia and industry; (5) providing professional development activities, mentoring, and advice in entrepreneurship, project management, and technology and business development to innovators.

This solicitation offers two broad tracks for proposals in pursuit of the aforementioned goals.
