NSF Days provide basic insight and instruction on how to compete for NSF funding for science, engineering and education research. This day-long workshop will provide background on the Foundation, its mission, priorities, and budget. During the day, we will give an overview on proposal writing, NSF's merit review process, and programs that fall within our […]
Emily Carrington is a professor of Biology at the University of Washington and a National Science Foundation program director. Carrington’s research program, in its broadest sense, investigates the physiological ecology of marine organisms. She is particularly interested in the functional design of organisms that inhabit physically demanding environments, such as wave-swept rocky shores, where thermal, osmotic, and hydrodynamic conditions can be extreme.

The Island Institute and the Sustainable Ecological Aquaculture Network (SEANET) present four short films about the future of fisheries and the changing ocean. This free screening will be followed by a Q & A with the Island Institute’s Heather Deese and UMaine Ph.D. student Sam Belknap. Across New England and the nation, fishermen and scientists are observing […]
Whether it is local, “wicked” problems that are complex, challenging, with multiple feedbacks, high uncertainty, and ambiguous solutions, or NSF’s Grand Societal Challenges, we are increasingly needing to take multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary team science approaches to understand and potentially solve these problems. However, such cross-disciplinary research efforts have struggled for both taskwork and teamwork […]
Maine EPSCoR will become eligible to submit another proposal to the NSF EPSCoR RII Track-1 solicitation during mid to late 2018. These are currently $20M awards over five years, and are limited to one per state at any one time. Maine EPSCoR at the University of Maine administers and implements the proposal development process and […]
