The DEPSCoR Team is happy to announce that the FY20 Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) funding opportunity announcement is open and available on grants.gov   https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=326765 

While this year's opportunity is quite similar to last year’s solicitation (two-person team, award amount, evaluation process), there are differences (scoped by topic areas, increased total number of awards). To discuss these updates and answer questions potential applicants may have before the white paper submission deadline, the DEPSCoR Team will host a webinar on  July 21, 2020 at 1:00 PM (EDT).  DEPSCoR  reminds potential applicants that registering for the Webinar DOES NOT constitute registering for the white paper submission site.
