Funding Opportunities
Sign In/Sign UpSummer Authentic Research Experiences (SARE) are designed to engage Idaho undergraduates in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields related to I-CREWS research and increase the number, diversity and preparation of skilled scientists and engineers in I-CREWS fields (geosciences, biological sciences, social sciences, and resilience science, computational modeling, machine learning and artificial intelligence) to provide analytical outcomes to proactively address the impacts of climate, population, and technological change on energy-water (E-W) systems. * 2-yr and 4-yr college faculty wanting to serve as a research co-mentor with university faculty must coordinate with university faculty mentor prior to submitting an application.

Idaho NSF EPSCoR I-CREWS funding is available to facilitate the development of VIP (Vertically Integrated Programs) courses related to the I-CREWS research areas. VIP is a program to increase student access to hands-on learning with faculty mentors and diverse teams. The VIP approach is at the center of the Idaho NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Track-1 I-CREWS Education, Workforce Development, and Diversity plans.
Community Integrated Programs (CIP) engage members of the community, often with undergraduate or graduate students, and are co-created with Tribal nations partners and/or community members and organizations outside academia to address priority issues identified by the community, particularly issues related to Energy-Water Systems. CIPs engage learners across disciplines (e.g., across STEM, policy, and law) and knowledge systems (e.g., local and Indigenous knowledge, academic knowledge). Community, students, and faculty together learn with each other as they imagine more equitable interdisciplinary solutions to complex E-W issues.
