Idaho EPSCoR Funding Opportunities

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.
The Idaho NSF EPSCoR I-CREWS program invites applications for funding to support the development of new Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) courses aligned with I-CREWS research areas. The VIP model expands access to hand-on, research-based learning for students while supporting faculty scholarship and team-based inquiry.
