This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will provide $318,000 to Idaho State University (ISU) to support the EPSCOR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP). The funding will enable ISU to recruit and train six graduate fellows in the biological sciences and geosciences departments, as well as interdisciplinary programs aligned with the NSF's I-CREWS research infrastructure improvement project. The goal is to develop a new generation of researchers equipped to address pressing scientific and social challenges through cutting-edge research methodologies such as artificial intelligence, geospatial analysis, and field-based investigations. The project aims to enhance ISU's research capacity and competitiveness, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, and position the university as a hub for advancing scientific knowledge and addressing real-world issues. This award, effective from July 15, 2025, to June 30, 2028, reflects the NSF's mission to support fundamental and applied research that promotes the progress of the biological sciences and strengthens the nation's scientific enterprise.
