Competitive Proposal Development Initiative (CPDI)

EPS 9977752Engstrom该项目为美国国家科学基金会刺激竞争性研究实验计划(EPSCoR)的参与州提供技术援助支持。该项目的目的是协助EPSCoR国家制定研究建议，以加强这些国家的研究竞争力。该项目的目标是提高EPSCoR州的竞争力，使它们获得资金的可能性与非EPSCoR州无法区分。技术援助的重点将是与各州合作，确定新的融资机会，以及代表着提高竞争力的重要潜在增长领域的大规模项目。他们的工作将集中在四个目标领域：1)计算/网络基础设施；2)生物技术/生物复杂性和环境研究；3)材料科学和工程；以及4)经济发展倡议。该项目将作为与EPSCoR州的合作伙伴关系运营。项目工作人员将与每个州的EPSCoR领导人密切合作，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.
