University Relations

The Alaska Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research is soliciting proposals for new and innovative research projects that support the program’s goals.

Seed grants of up to $30,000 are available to early and mid-career, full-time faculty members of the University of Alaska system. Faculty members who have not previously received EPSCoR funding and wish to collaborate are strongly encouraged to apply.

Projects should address themes relevant to goals set by Alaska EPSCoR, a National Science Foundation-supported program designed to enhance Alaska’s research capacity in social-ecological systems science and provide the state’s communities with tools and information to respond to changing environments.

A full description of the opportunity and the application materials can be found on the Alaska EPSCoR site, www.alaska.edu/epscor.
