It gives us great pleasure to announce the publication of an exciting new Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) 21-108 https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21108/nsf21108.jsp from NSF’s EPSCoR Office and CISE/OAC discussing CC* as a funding opportunity available to EPSCoR institutions. Through this DCL, OAC and EPSCoR in OIA are specifically inviting proposal submissions to CC* to address the disparities in campus-level networking and cyberinfrastructure that exacerbated the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in some areas of the country.
