NSF has released a new solicitation for the Science and Technology Centers: Integrative Partnerships program. This program supports innovative, potentially transformative, complex research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. STCs conduct world-class research through partnerships among academic institutions, national laboratories, industrial organizations, and/or other public/private entities, and via international collaborations, as appropriate. STCs may involve any areas of science and engineering that NSF supports. More information is available at:http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11522/nsf11522.htm.
For this opportunity, Purdue may submit three proposals as lead.
Internal deadlines are as follows:
Monday, February 7: Letters of intent due to the OVPR.
Monday, February 28: Pre-proposals due to the OVPR.
Please note: Letters of intent and pre-proposals to the OVPR, should be e-mailed to OVPRlimited@purdue.edu. Purdue's limited submission policy and template for letters of intent may be found at http://www.purdue.edu/research/vpr/funding/lsid1.php. For any case in which the number of internal letters of intent received is no more than the number of proposals allowed by the sponsor, the OVPR will notify the PI that an internal pre-proposal will be unnecessary.
Please let me know if you have questions about the limited submission process or this competition.
Best wishes, Sue
