About the series
The NSF Directorate for Engineering will host a webinar about the Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) program solicitation (22-595) on May 5, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern.
The Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) program supports new investigators as they initiate their research programs and advance in their careers as researchers, educators, and innovators. This funding opportunity aims to broaden the base of investigators involved in engineering research and therefore is limited to investigators who are not affiliated with “very high research activity” R1 institutions (according to the Carnegie Classification).
The webinar will feature a short overview presentation from the ERI Team about the program and will include ample time for Q&A.
UPDATE: View ERI webinar slides and watch the webinar recording below.
NSF held a second webinar on June 18, 2023, about a special funding focus for the ERI program jointly supported by the NSF Engineering Directorate and the Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO). You can watch the webinar recording below and see the ERI water power webinar slides.
The partnership will support new science and engineering proposals submitted to the ERI program in topics of mutual interest:
- marine energy and powering the blue economy
- hydropower and climate change impacts
