SD EPSCoR Impacts

SD EPSCoR Impacts for the Week of April 5, 2018:

• The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences has released Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0001897) for Building EPSCoR-State/National Laboratory Partnerships. These partnerships are to advance fundamental early-stage energy research collaborations with the DOE national laboratories. The research must be of public benefit within DOE’s Congressionally-authorized mission-space. Applicants must propose scientific collaborations that partner academic, non-profit, or industrial researchers in EPSCoR jurisdictions and research staff at DOE national laboratories. Partnerships should leverage capabilities of DOE national laboratories, particularly their user facilities. Please contact your sponsored programs office for more information about your institution’s internal process. More
• Check out our new EdBlog: Teaching Science in Today’s Schools. As technology continues to evolve and become more pertinent in everyday life, it is imperative that we raise technologically responsible and cognizant citizens. Science classrooms today are often the first to reflect changes in technology, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the classroom. More
