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!
The evaluation plan in a grant proposal is an important part of the application that is required across funding agencies. This workshop will cover critical components of the evaluation plan that will strengthen this section in the application. The evaluation plan also discusses topics that are integrated in other sections in the proposal, and this workshop will help investigators not only with understanding evaluation in grant proposals but will offer valuable guidance as they plan their approach, outcomes, and timelines as well.
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program “offers the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization” (CAREER solicitation, 20-525).
This workshop will introduce you to the CAREER program and critical differences between CAREER and other NSF proposal mechanisms. There will be plenty of time for questions.

Presenter: Program Officer Dr. Chinonye Nnakwe Whitley
Program Officers from the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) will describe opportunities in the Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) and the Advancing Innovation and Impact in Undergraduate STEM Education at Two-Year Institutions of Higher Education Program Description. The S-STEM program has a solicitation to guide proposal submission. The Program Description, however, is more of an open call for submissions that will benefit undergraduate STEM education at community colleges.
