Internal Deadline is December for Submissions to EPSCoR Research Fellow Program
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Office of Vice Provost for Research and Economic Development has set a deadline of December for faculty interested in a limited submission to a National Sceince Foundation EPSCoR program designed for faculty who hold a non-tenured faculty appointment or its close equivalent, either a pre-tenure tenure-track position or a long-term non-tenure-track position.
Per the NSF solicitation, the 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.
The U of A is permitted to send three applications for the program. For those interested, go to the limited submission page on the Office of Vice Provost for Research and Economic Development website.
