Additional Info
*Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
-
Only U.S. universities that grant engineering degrees at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral engineering level may submit proposals as the lead university. The lead university submits the proposal, and the award is made to the lead university. Support is provided to partnering universities and any affiliated faculty from non-partner institutions through subawards.
Invited full proposals must meet all the following organizational requirements or they will be returned without review:
<ul>
<li>The Lead must be an institute of higher education per the Carnegie Foundational Attribute: <a href="https://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/classification_descriptions/basic.php">https://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/classification_descriptions/basic.php</a></li>
<li>A proposed ERC must be multi-institutional, with a lead university and additional domestic university core partners. There is no maximum number of partner institutions.</li>
<li>To qualify as a core partner institution, there must be a minimum of three faculty participating in the ERC along with a minimum of three students.</li>
<li>The lead or at least one of the core partner universities must be a university that serves populations of traditionally underrepresented students interested in STEM (defined as minority serving institutions, women's colleges, or institutions where the majority of the students are students with disabilities).</li>
<li>Commitments from lead and core partner universities for cost sharing must be in place.</li>
</ul>
*Who May Serve as PI:
The Lead PI must be a faculty member at the lead university. Non-Lead PIs are the co-PIs listed on the Cover Sheet after the Lead PI and may be from institutions other than the lead university.
