Description

The NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG) seeks to build engineering research capacity by investing in new academic investigators who have not yet received sufficient research funding from Federal Agencies. The Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) program supports new investigators as they start their research programs and advance their careers as researchers, educators, and innovators. This funding opportunity aims to broaden the base of investigators involved in engineering research and is limited to investigators not affiliated with "very high research activity" R1 institutions according to the Carnegie Classification. Proposals may only be submitted by Institutions of Higher Education not classified as R1 institutions, including two- and four-year IHEs accredited in the US. The PI must hold a doctoral degree in a field supported by NSF and meet specific eligibility criteria regarding prior federal research funding.
