Subject: Limited Submission Opportunity: NSF Centers of Research Excellence in Science and
Technology (CREST)
Good morning,
A new limited submission
opportunity<http://research.utsa.edu/research-funding/opportunities/li...
has been posted.
National Science Foundation Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology
(CREST)<http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2016/nsf16525/nsf16525.pdf>
Summary:
CREST Centers promote faculty engagement in research activities at the highest level. An
educational environment based on discovery will be vibrant, with both undergraduate and
graduate students engaged in the process of discovery and innovation through modern and
relevant curricula, courses, and research experiences. Students will have opportunities to
become significant participants in the broader community of scholarship in their
respective fields. Minority-serving institutions offer an opportunity to engage student
and faculty populations from underrepresented groups in numbers that can have a
significant impact, consistent with the NSF goal to broaden participation and with the NSF
mission: to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity,
and welfare; to secure the national defense and to ensure that research is fully
integrated with education so that today's revolutionary work will also be training
tomorrow's top scientists and engineers. In addition to bolstering the research
infrastructure and research competitiveness of MSIs of higher education, the CREST program
seeks to increase the workforce presence of individuals from groups underrepresented in
STEM fields. Attentiveness to career development of the women and men working with senior
faculty researchers in all CREST Centers can play an important role in diversifying the
national STEM workforce.
Institutional Limit:
Only one preliminary CREST Center proposal may be submitted per institution.
Full CREST Center proposals are to be submitted only when invited by NSF.
