Note that only two awards will be issued with up to 18 EPSCoR jurisdictions eligible, so this will be a very intense competition.  Yearly budgets of up to $1 million dollars for three years are permissible.  There will be NO State Cost-Share required for this program.

Each EPSCoR state can only submit one application. Preproposals must be received at the OSU EPSCoR office by Monday, August 10, 2009.   Note that, after a theme is selected, the formal proposal application must be submitted by October 13, 2009.  This proposal must be submitted through the new Department of Energy e-Center (IIPS) http://doe-iips.pr.doe.gov/.
