Dear Colleagues:

NSF?s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR) is hosting several informational webinars on RII Track-2 and RII Track-4 funding opportunities. It would be greatly appreciated if you could disseminate this invitation to interested parties within your institutions.


RII Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations: builds interjurisdictional collaborative teams of EPSCoR investigators in scientific focus areas consistent with NSF priorities. Projects are investigator-driven and must include researchers from at least two RII-eligible jurisdictions. The development of diverse early-career faculty is a critical component of this sustainable Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics capacity. For FY 2017, RII Track-2 FEC proposals are invited on a single topic: Genomes to Phenomes. See solicitation NSF 17-503<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2017/nsf17503/nsf17503.pdf> for more details.

Join EPSCoR Program Officers on November 15 or November 16 at 2:00 p.m. EST for an informational webinar on EPSCoR's RII Track-2 program. WebEx login instructions can be found here<https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/epscor/Track2_Webinar_Instructions.pdf>.


RII Track-4: provides opportunities for non-tenured investigators to further develop their individual research potential through extended collaborative visits to the nation?s premier private, governmental, or academic research centers.  Through these visits, the EPSCoR Research Fellows will be able to learn new techniques, benefit from access to unique equipment and facilities, and shift their research toward transformative new directions.  The experience gained through the fellowship is intended to provide a foundation for research collaborations that span the recipient?s entire career.  These benefits to the Fellows are also expected to in turn enhance the research capacity of their institutions and jurisdictions. Full details for RII Track-4 are available in the solicitation, NSF 17-509<https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=504901&ods_key=nsf17509>.

Join EPSCoR Program Officers November 29 or November 30 at 2:00 p.m. EST for an informational webinar on EPSCoR's RII Track-4 program. WebEx login instructions can be found here<https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/epscor/Track4_Webinar_Instructions.pdf>.

Sincerely,

Dr. Denise M. Barnes
Section Head, NSF EPSCoR

Seeking Strategies for Undergraduate Research Programs Success? Then don?t miss CUR?s ?Undergraduate Research Programs: Undergraduate Research Collaborations? Conference. Do you have something to share: a great program, unique process, assessment initiatives, or an interesting and exciting aspect of your undergraduate research program? Are you ready to network and learn from your colleagues? This conference is for you and is designed for programs at any stage, including the development phase! Be a part of it! Session topics include (but are not limited to):

Themes:
? High Impact Learning Strategies: Methods, approaches, courses and practices that have proven very effective in achieving learning outcomes that incorporate undergraduate research. This can include the retooling of existing courses, applied research in courses and imbedded research projects within courses.
? Undergraduate Research Administration and Budgeting - Nuts and Bolts: Approaches that have proven effective in managing and organizing undergraduate research and/or in funding the means by which the research can be undertaken. Budgeting innovations, successful central strategies, institutional support etc. are all applicable.
? Assessment: Strategies for evaluating undergraduate research projects, using data to improve the experience or providing feedback for funding support.
? Internationalization: Incorporating an international element to undergraduate research, including research-based travel, media-assisted collaboration, data exchange or the mechanics of organizing an international undergraduate research component.
? Undergraduate Research Collaborations: Examples of effective partnerships with undergraduate researchers, pairing strategies, team projects, the ethics of collaboration in undergraduate research.
? Diversity in Research: Effective strategies for promoting diversity-serving undergraduate research, undergraduate research that informs diversity issues, collaborations that have brought in diverging perspectives to undergraduate research.
Session formats vary from panels, 75-minute interactive sessions, 10-min short presentation, and poster sessions.
