Internal Notification and Preproposal Due Dates for NSF’s ESPCoR Collaboration Opportunities |
The National Science Foundation’s EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement-Focused EPSCoR Collaborations — RII-FEC, formerly EPSCoR Track 2 — funding opportunity is a limited submission program, restricting the number of proposals that K-State can submit. So that the Office of Research Development (ORD) can make sure that our institution does not go over the number of allowed submissions, ORD requires that you notify us via ordlimitedsubs@k-state.edu with a working title, team list, short synopsis before a certain date if you are interested in this program. If there are more interested groups than there are submission slots, our office holds an internal competition, requiring the submission of preproposals, to determine which groups can go forward.

| Program | Notification Due Date (5 p.m.) |

DOE’s Office of Science Is Now Accepting Applications for Graduate Student Research Awards |
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science is pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2025 solicitation 2 cycle. The SCGSR program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students for conducting part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE national laboratory scientist. The goal of the program is to prepare graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the mission of DOE’s Office of Science. The research opportunity will advance the graduate students’ overall graduate theses while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the host DOE national laboratories. In addition, SCGSR awardees may have the opportunity for short international research visits to select prestigious centers to broaden their horizons.
SCGSR application assistance workshops will be held on September 11, 2025, (register on Zoom for the first workshop) and October 9, 2025, (register on Zoom for the second workshop). The first workshop will provide a general overview of the program and application requirements. It will also include time for attendees to discuss their potential research topics and their alignment with the SCGSR priority areas with managers of each participating program office. At the second workshop, staff members will guide attendees through the application process, answer general questions, provide guidance on proposal writing, and lead discussions with scientists and former awardees. Additionally, the program manager will host virtual office hours every Friday starting on September 26, 2025 via this Zoom link.
Students will perform graduate theses research at U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories. Applications are due on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

Proposal tips from NSF Assistant Director for Engineering |
Open-Access Publishing in a Global Context |
Open-access (OA) publications are peer-reviewed research articles that are accessible online to any reader without requiring a journal subscription or payment. These publications allow global researchers and other readers access to scientific research and have reshaped the structure of scientific publishing. Government and private funders, institutions, and scientists themselves are increasingly concerned with the availability of S&E publications through OA sources, with some funders requiring grantees to publish their results in OA journals. This InfoBrief explores global patterns of OA publication output and scientific impact from 2003 through 2022 using Scopus, a bibliometric database of publication metadata, which includes the OA status of research publications
