Competitive Proposal Development Initiative (CPDI)

本项目为参与NSF刺激竞争性研究实验计划（EPSCoR）的国家提供技术援助支持。该项目的目的是协助EPSCoR各州制定研究建议，以加强这些州的研究竞争力。该项目的目标是提高EPSCoR州的竞争力，使其获得资金的可能性与非EPSCoR州无异。技术援助将侧重于与各州合作，寻找新的筹资机会，以及具有提高竞争力的重大潜在增长领域的大型项目。私家侦探将把他们的努力集中在四个目标领域：1)计算/网络基础设施；2)生物技术/生物复杂性与环境研究；3)材料科学与工程；（四）经济发展倡议。该项目将与EPSCoR各州合作运营。项目工作人员将与每个州的EPSCoR领导密切合作，选择对该州重要的重点领域。

EPS 9977752Engstrom This project provides technical assistance support to the participating states in NSF's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). The intent of the project is assisting the EPSCoR states in the development of research proposals in order to strengthen the research competitiveness of these states. The project's goal is to increase the EPSCoR states' competitiveness to the point that their probability of receiving funding is indistinguishable for non-EPSCoR states. The technical assistance will focus on working with the states to identify new opportunities for funding, and large-scale programs that represent significant potential growth areas for increased competitiveness. The P.I.s will focus their efforts in four target areas: 1) Computing/Networking Infrastructure; 2)Biotechnology/Biocomplexity and Environmental Research; 3) Materials Science and Engineering; and 4) Economic Development Initiatives. The project will be operated as a partnership with the EPSCoR states. Project staff will work closely with EPSCoR leaders in each state to choose those areas of emphasis that are important to that state.
