ND EPSCoR small award opportunities available

A reminder to all tenured and tenure-track STEM faculty: ND EPSCoR has funds available for small research and equipment awards up to $2,500.

To apply for ND EPSCoR small awards, please email Mark Hoffmann or mail a request letter to the ND EPSCoR office stating the nature of your request and the amount that you are requesting. The letter should be brief (ca. 1 page maximum), but explicitly address the benefits to your research program that will result in receiving the award.

Unfortunately, we are not able to fund requests whose primary benefits are for course or curriculum development. Although there is no formal requirement for matching funds, departmental and/or college endorsements for financial support can be taken into account in funding decisions.

Please note: we are not able to provide small award funding for computers, salary and fringes for faculty or students, or conference travel (should you need funds for conference travel, please contact the office of Research Development and Compliance). Priority will be given to requests that cannot be funded from other sources (e.g., existing grants). The requests of young investigators and other faculty who have not had small award funding recently will be given special consideration.
