NASA EPSCoR Issues Call for Proposals

NASA EPSCoR has announced the intention to release the Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) for the 2012 EPSCoR Competition on December 1, 2011.  Oklahoma is eligible to submit one proposal with the possibility of having one additional award.  The Call for Proposals is being issued now using the 2011 CAN program description, in order to give Oklahoma researchers the opportunity to prepare for what has, in recent years, been a very tight timeline.  This proactive approach requires us to anticipate certain things about the timeline and about the contents of the new CAN; updates will be made in response to developments as they occur.  By moving ahead of the release, we hope to provide researchers more time to develop these pre-proposals and supporting resources.

For detailed information, access the Call for Proposals and the 2011 CAN program description.
