The 27th NSF EPSCoR National Conference will be held in Portland, Maine from November 13 to 16, 2022. Maine EPSCoR is excited to host the event and we are looking forward to seeing you in Maine. Please see the attached conference flyer for more information and to help you with early planning. Early registration will begin on May 2.

Representatives from NSF's Division of Information Systems will hold a technical webinar on system-related information to assist with CAREER proposal submission. CAREER proposals must be prepared and submitted to research.gov or grants.gov FastLane is not an option. The webinar will include:
the NSF EPSCoR Research Fellows funding opportunity, that is under solicitation NSF 22-573, and has a deadline of May 12, 2022.  This initiative provides early career investigators at EPSCoR-eligible institutions support for extended travel to a host site to establish or strengthen research collaborations, learn new techniques and / or access state of the art facilities.

The goal of the Jumpstart Workshops is to prepare faculty and staff at Hispanic Serving Institutions for submission of proposals to the Competition of the NSF HSI Initiative.
Federal grants supporting new educational initiatives typically require a blend of implementation and research. Where evaluation focuses on the effectiveness or success of the implementation, the research components focus on more generalizable learning. In this workshop, we will focus on tools to identify research questions and develop research plans to answer them. You will work in pairs to give one another feedback, which will also provide lots of opportunities to get to know other participants.
Receiving a proposal rejection is dispiriting, but the reality is that most proposals are rejected, and every successful scientist has received numerous rejection notices. Carefully interpreting proposal reviews and responding to them effectively can drastically increase the likelihood of future funding success!
