Nevada System Sponsored Programs and EPSCoR
To promote the opportunities and collaborations within science, research, education, and technology for NSHE institutions in Nevada
National Science Foundation – Nevada Climate Change
Nevada Infrastructure for Climate Change Science, Education and Outreach will fund science, education, and outreach infrastructure at UNR, UNLV, DRI, NSC, and NSHE’s community colleges for the study of climate change and its effects on Nevada. This project is creating a statewide interdisciplinary program that stimulates transformative research, education, and outreach on the effects of [...]
National Science Foundation – Cyber Connectivity
Cyber Connectivity Within the Nevada System of Higher Education Research supports the enhancement of cyber connectivity among educational institutions across the state. The goal of the Cyber Connectivity project is to improve connectivity within the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) to achieve higher network speeds and capacity to advance education and research. Nevada research [...]
NASA EPSCoR Program
The NASA EPSCoR program strengthens the research capabilities of jurisdictions that have not had a competitive advantage to participate in aerospace and aerospace-related research activities. EPSCoR provides eligible jurisdictions with funding opportunities to develop a more active research base by involving their academic and research institutions. Nevada NASA EPSCoR website
Nevada State of Higher Education Institutions
Nevada State of Higher Education (NSHE) consists of 8 major institutions across the state. The mission of the Nevada System of Higher Education is to provide higher education to the citizens of the state at an excellent level of quality consistent with the state’s resources. It accomplishes this mission by acquiring, transmitting, and preserving knowledge [...]
Department of Energy EPSCoR
DOE EPSCoR is a federal-state partnership program designed to help the Department meet the nation’s energy needs through increased competition in energy-related research. The mission of DOE EPSCoR is to support basic research activities spanning the broad range of science and technology programs within DOE and to increase the number of scientists and engineers in energy-related [...]
College Access Grant
The Nevada System of Higher Education will focus its College Access Challenge Grant efforts to dramatically increase the percent of new college entrants, particularly for underrepresented students (low-income, first generation, students of color) in the state. http://gotocollegenevada.org

Dr. William J. Smith Jr. – Mentoring a New Generation of Researchers
It’s not unusual to see Dr. William (Bill) Smith walking down the halls of the Harry Reid Center at the University of
Nevada, Las Vegas with an entourage of students by his side. In fact, if you met him at any state or national conference, he would be surrounded by students from diverse disciplines. Bill has a unique understanding of how to engage students and foster team cooperation. His interaction is supportive, transcending cultures, languages, and customs to inspire young scientists to reach beyond formal scientific training and engage cross-disciplinary skills. From his early years …

Advancing Science Education – C4D Learning Lab
The Learning Lab funded for Green Valley High School (GVHS) transforms science classrooms by providing full, wireless access to cyberlearning materials that have been developed under the NV NSF EPSCoR project, Climate Change Cyberlearning Curriculum Development (C4D). The wireless affordance of the learning lab allows the project staff to test the full potential of the cyberlearning materials at scale, in a blended instructional model. Students use the computer models to predict the impact of climate change on food webs, to research and analyze metadata associated with alternative fuel sources …
