EPSCoR Centers Development Initiative (CDI)

这个EPSCoR中心发展倡议（CDI）项目的目标是提高EPSCoR研究人员在美国国家科学基金会资助的多研究者中心资助计划中的参与度和竞争力。 该项目将使用以下两种互补策略为EPSCoR社区提供直接咨询和援助：中心启动：增强EPSCoR机构/管辖区正在制定的提交给主要NSF中心计划的提案。匹配EPSCoR机构的研究小组/与NSF资助的中心建立联系并支持与NSF资助的中心的伙伴关系。该项目建立在以前试点的成功基础上该项目为有前途的EPSCoR启动中心项目的研究人员提供直接咨询和援助。 该项目扩展了成功的启动方法，并增加了中心输液的第二种方法，以增加EPSCoR管辖区与EPSCoR和非EPSCoR管辖区中心之间的合作。 中心的启动和注入战略通过以下活动促进竞争性、协作性的大规模研究：机会确定、咨询和援助、外联、伙伴关系、项目开发和传播。 该项目是南达科他州大学、EPSCoR基金会和EPSCoR的联合项目

The goal of this EPSCoR Centers Development Initiative (CDI) project is to increase the participation and competitiveness of EPSCoR researchers in multi-investigator Centers grant programs funded by the National Science Foundation. This project will provide direct consultation and assistance to the EPSCoR community using the following two complementary strategies:Centers Initiation: enhance proposals being developed by EPSCoR institutions/jurisdictions for submission to major NSF Center programs.Centers Infusion: match research groups in EPSCoR institutions/jurisdictions with NSF funded Centers and link and support partnerships with funded NSF Centers.This project builds on the success of a previous pilot project that provided direct consultation and assistance to researchers with promising EPSCoR Initiation Centers projects. This project expands the successful Initiation approach and adds the second approach of Centers Infusion to increase collaboration between EPSCoR jurisdictions and Centers in EPSCoR and non-EPSCoR jurisdictions. The Centers Initiation and Infusion strategies stimulate competitive, collaborative large-scale research through the following activities: opportunities identification, consultation and assistance, outreach, partnerships, project development and dissemination. This project is a joint undertaking of the University of South Dakota, the EPSCoR Foundation and the EPSCoR
