The Research Office, Incentive Programs is requesting letters of intent for the NSF – Partnerships for Innovation: Building Innovation Capacity (PFI: BIC) program.

Deadline to the Research Office, Incentive Programs: Monday, August 13, 2012 by 5:00 PM

The PFI: BIC program starts with an existing sound scientific and/or engineering-based research discovery that can be translated through a partnership between academe and small businesses to potentially market-valued solutions and to enhance the innovation capacity of the partners. The funds will provide support to an academic institution to partner with at lease two small technology-based businesses that are not in direct competition with each other. The primary aims of the activities of this partnership are three-fold: (1) to build the innovation capacity of the individual participants from academe and from business; (2) to increase the viability of the small business concerns; and (3) to develop the next-generation workforce by providing opportunities for students at different levels to effectively learn from, participate in, and be profoundly changed by exposure to the process of building innovation capacity that occurs in BIC projects.

Letters of intent should be submitted electronically  to Debbie Delmore, Incentive Programs, Research Office at debbie.delmore@oregonstate.edu.

NSF – Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) – Track 2

The Research Office, Incentive Programs is requesting letters of intent for the NSF – OEDG-Track 2 program.

Deadline to the Research Office, Incentive Programs: Monday, July 30, 2012

The OEDG Program is designed to address the fact that certain groups are underrepresented in the geosciences relative to the proportions in the general population. The primary goal of the OEDG Program is to increase participation in the geosciences by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans (American Indians and Alaskan Natives), Native Pacific Islanders (Polynesians or Micronesians), and persons with disabilities. A secondary goal of the program is to increase the perceived relevance of the geosciences among broad and diverse segments of the population.

Track 2: Full-Scale Projects – This Track supports longer-term activities that will identify and promote pathways to geosciences careers among members of underrepresented groups. It is expected that Track 2 proposals will establish programs that are sustainable without additional OEDG funding.
