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 federal research funding. 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 opportunity is limited to investigators not affiliated with "very high research activity" R1 institutions according to the Carnegie Classification. The program encourages submissions from primarily undergraduate institutions, two-year colleges, and institutions in EPSCoR jurisdictions.
