Program Summary:
DOE's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for Building EPSCoR-State/DOE-National Laboratory Partnerships. These partnerships advance understanding of the physical world by supporting fundamental, early-stage energy research collaborations with the DOE National Laboratories. (Information on the DOE National Laboratories including links to websites can be found at https://www.energy.gov/about-national-labs.) Participation by undergraduate students, graduate students, or postdoctoral fellows is required. Early career faculty from EPSCoR jurisdictions are encouraged to apply. Utilization of DOE user facilities is encouraged. (Information on the SC User Facilities can be found at https://science.osti.gov/User-Facilities/User-Facilities-at-a-Glance; information on the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy user facilities can be found at https://nsuf.inl.gov.)
Applicants are advised of the following areas of priority interest: Clean Energy and Climate Research, including Energy Storage, Carbon Dioxide Removal, Hydrogen, Solar Energy Conversion, and Low-carbon Manufacturing (including polymer upcycling).
Please note, that if you want to apply for this opportunity, an internal letter of intent is required (LOI). The internal letter of intent is very brief, we require your name, contact information, and a brief description of your proposed project (2-5 sentences).
If the number of LOIs received does NOT exceed the institutional limit, the applicant(s) will be notified that they are able to proceed as soon as possible.
If the number of LOIs received exceeds the institutional limit for a given competition, Research Development will subsequently solicit pre-proposals from applicants and host an internal competition in which pre-proposals will be reviewed by UVM faculty, including, but not limited to: Deans or Associate Deans for Research, members of the OVPR Research Advisory Committee, or other UVM faculty with expertise in related disciplines. The selected applicant(s) will be informed that they are able to proceed with a full application to the funding agency; declined applicants will also be notified. Research Development will notify Sponsored Projects Administration of the name of the applicant(s) who are selected as the institutional applicant(s).
If you have any questions regarding this program or would like to learn more about finding funding opportunities, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Cheers,
Cailey
