About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation seeks applicants for Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) and Research Opportunity Awards (ROA) funding, with applications due October 14, 2076. Eligible applicants are restricted to accredited colleges and universities (including two-year community colleges) that award Associate's degrees, Bachelor's degrees, and/or Master's degrees in NSF-supported fields and have awarded 20 or fewer Ph.D./D.Sci. degrees in all NSF-supported fields during the combined previous two academic years.
RUI proposals support individual or collaborative research projects engaging PUI faculty in their professional fields, building institutional research capacity, and integrating research with undergraduate education. RUI proposals may also request funding for shared research instrumentation. ROA proposals typically support PUI faculty working as visiting scientists at research-intensive organizations, collaborating with NSF-supported investigators at host institutions.
All NSF directorates may support RUI and ROA activities. Funding is distributed within research and education program allocations across disciplinary areas rather than held as a separate line item. RUI and ROA proposals are evaluated and funded by NSF programs within the disciplinary areas of the proposed research at program officer discretion. Award ceilings, floors, and expected number of awards are not specified in the source material.
Prospective PIs should contact disciplinary program officers to identify specific NSF programs, confirm eligibility, and determine feasibility and timing of RUI or ROA requests. General points of contact are available through the NSF RUI/ROA website at http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/rui_roa/contacts.jsp.
Synopsis
2 versions
Update #2 · Latest ·
The Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) and Research Opportunity Awards (ROA) funding opportunities support research by faculty members at predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs). RUI proposals support PUI faculty in research that engages them in their professional field(s), builds capacity for research at their home institution, and supports the integration of research and undergraduate education. ROAs similarly support PUI faculty research, but these awards typically allow faculty to work as visiting scientists at research-intensive organizations where they collaborate with other NSF-supported investigators.
Eligible PUIs are accredited colleges and universities (including two-year community colleges) that award Associate's degrees, Bachelor's degrees, and/or Master's degrees in NSF-supported fields, but have awarded 20 or fewer Ph.D./D.Sci. degrees in all NSF-supported fields during the combined previous two academic years.
All NSF directorates may support RUI and ROA funding activities. Funding for these awards is contained within research and education program allocations and not held as a separate allocation. RUI and ROA proposals are evaluated and funded by NSF programs in the disciplinary areas of the proposed research and are funded at their discretion.
Prospective PIs should contact disciplinary program officers to identify specific NSF programs and to determine the feasibility and timing of RUI/ROA requests. General RUI/ROA points of contact are available through the website http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/rui_roa/contacts.jsp.
1. Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI). An RUI proposal may be:
- A request to support an individual research project or a collaborative research project involving PUI faculty and students at their own or other institutions.
- A request involving shared research instrumentation.
2. Research Opportunity Awards (ROA). The types of ROA opportunities include:
- A supplement to an existing NSF award to support ROA activities for PUI faculty.
- Requests to rebudget funds in an existing NSF award to support ROA activities for PUI faculty.
- Submission of a new collaborative proposal between a PUI and another institution(s), with a ROA component as a subaward or as part of a linked collaborative proposal.
