Funding
Currently Open-
GEAR is designed to encourage multi-disciplinary research projects that have
the ability to be at or beyond the frontiers of scientific discovery.
Awards may include support for start-up funding for new junior, tenure-track
faculty hires; acquisition of shared equipment; expansion and enhancement of
mentoring and research development opportunities for researchers at all levels
of career development; student research traineeships; or development of
collaborative partnerships.
In anticipation of the release of an NSF EPSCoR RII Track-2 solicitation, the South Carolina EPSCoR/IDeA State Committee is requesting pre-proposals to continue a cyberinfrastructure consortium with the Tennessee EPSCoR State Committee.
The SC EPSCoR/IDeA office conducts outreach and provides seed funding
through the following grant programs.
The Postdoctoral Academic Career Development (PACD) Program offers an
opportunity for postdoctoral researchers to participate in enhancing the
research culture at predominately undergraduate institutions (PUIs) in the state
of South Carolina.
The Scientific Advocate Network (SAN) program is a resource for increasing
diversity among South Carolina’s faculty in STEM disciplines. The Scientific
Advocate Network is a tool for institutions to increase candidate pools for
technical staff, postdoctoral fellow, and tenure-track faculty positions.
Phase-0 is designed to increase the participation and competitiveness of South Carolina's small businesses in SBIR and STTR competitions, the amount of
federal research dollars invested in South Carolina's private sector, and the
involvement of academia in private sector research ventures.

South Carolina EPSCoR/IDeA program aims to: 1) promote the state’s
institutions in their efforts to recruit underrepresented graduate students,
postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members to South Carolina’s institutions and
2) increase the pipeline of minority students matriculating into STEM graduate
programs. SC
EPSCoR/IDeA is offering funds to support registration fees for
students to attend 2011 ABRCMS in St. Louis,
Missouri November 9-12, 2011.
The goal of the SC INBRE Bioinformatics Pilot Project Program is to stimulate
interest in the application of genomics and bioinformatics methods to
undergraduate and graduate student research throughout the INBRE and South
Carolina Clinical and Translational Research Institute (SCTR) networks. Projects
must be implemented by faculty and student teams. Teams should consist of at
least one undergraduate or graduate student, and at least one faculty member.
Individuals may only be involved in a single proposal per funding period.
