NSF: Planning Grants for Historically Black College and University Excellence in Research (HBCU-EiR) Program

HBCU-EiR planning grants support initial conceptualization, planning, and collaboration activities that aim to formulate solid plans for a future submission to the HBCU-EiR program. These planning grants are intended to provide eligible investigators with the time and resources needed to generate an HBCU-EiR proposal focusing on research that is well-aligned with an existing funding program within NSF’s directorates.

Proposals may only be submitted by accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities that have faculty members who conduct research in a STEM and/or STEM Education discipline supported by NSF. The Principal Investigator must be a full-time faculty member or researcher at the HBCU from which the proposal is submitted. Required Letter of Intent due July 27. Proposal due Oct 3.
