NSF INCLUDES announces funding opportunities for current and prospective researchers

**Attention all current and prospective NSF researchers: **

From Dear Colleague Letter dated July 14, 2017

Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) is a comprehensive effort to enhance U.S. leadership in science and engineering discovery and innovation by proactively seeking and effectively developing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent from all sectors and groups in our society. As one element of its multi-faceted approach to NSF INCLUDES, NSF is currently focusing on and identifying novel ways in which new and currently-funded NSF projects from across all NSF directorates can engage with the NSF INCLUDES National Network. We have called this process building “on-ramps” to the NSF INCLUDES National Network. To do this, we encourage the submission of funding requests for
i) Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER),
ii) Conferences and Workshops, and
iii) Supplements to existing NSF-funded grants.

Please read the letter in full for details on project types, due dates, and Program Officer contact instructions. Contact
