Engineering Research Initiation Services

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering seeks engineering research initiation services. The government authority requires support for new academic investigators who have not yet received federal research funding. The goal is to build national engineering research capacity by enabling impactful scientific work and improving the research and scientific training environment. The requested scope involves offsite performance of engineering research initiation services. Eligibility is restricted to onshore US organizations only. The NSF is looking for proposals, and submission deadlines are October 11, 2022, and September 15, 2023. Proposals must be prepared and submitted via Research.gov or Grants.gov.
