NSF is accepting EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) proposals
The NSF Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) is accepting EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) proposals that will advance the state of the art in assessing place-based innovation's societal and economic impacts. This funding opportunity aims to address gaps in publicly available data and associated knowledge to adequately and appropriately benchmark activities in place-based innovation grounded in integrating research and development, translation, and workforce development. The dear colleague letter emphasizes the role of cross-sector partnerships in place-based innovation and how to best leverage all of the regional talent to create inclusive and equitable innovation ecosystems.
Please note the following deadlines associated with this funding opportunity:
- February 12, 2024: Concept Outlines must be received via email to either Xueying “Shirley” Han (xhan@nsf.gov) or Rebecca Shearman (rshearma@nsf.gov) by 5 p.m. submitter's local time. The correspondence permitting submission of an EAGER proposal can be expected approximately four weeks after submission of the Concept Outline.
