The SC EPSCoR/IDeA office conducts outreach and provides seed funding
through the following grant programs.
South Carolina EPSCoR/IDeA aims to: 1) provide opportunities for the
recruitment of underrepresented faculty members, postdoctoral fellows and
graduate students 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 exhibits and registration fees for
students to attend 2010 ABRCMS
in Charlotte, NC.
GEAR is designed to encourage multi-disciplinary research projects that have
the ability to be at or beyond the frontiers of scientific discovery.
Awards will include support for start-up funding for new junior, tenure-track
faculty hires; acquisition of share equipment; student research traineeships; or
development of collaborative partnerships.
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 the
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.
