Nevada’s NSF EPSCoR Track-1 program provides funding to provide technical assistance for proposal and manuscript preparation for all NSHE faculty to promote competitive attainment of follow-on funding to current Track-1 research efforts (Solar Energy, Water-Energy Nexus, Environment *requestors must make the case that the topic of their proposal/manuscript is directly aligned with the Nexus topics).

Requests to provide assistance for preparation of proposals being submitted to all funding agencies will be considered, but priority will be given those being submitted to NSF. Priority also will be given to investigators without strong funding histories. These priorities do not mean that others cannot receive assistance.

Requests to provide assistance for preparation of manuscripts being submitted to all peer-reviewed journals will be considered, but priority will be given to those being submitted to journals that are prestigious within the topic area and command national attention. Assistance will not be provided for manuscripts being prepared for conference proceedings.

*Requestors must make the case that the topic of their proposal/manuscript is directly aligned with the Nexus topics.

If you have difficulties submitting the online application form, please contact Marcie Jackson or (702) 522-7079
