Of particular interest to the NSF are projects that feature cross-disciplinary or international dimensions, in addition to projects that address a broad range of activities that address K-12 education improvement.

虽然这些助学金是竞争性的，但它们确实是竞争性的不 limited to the larger research-intensive institutions (small schools are eligible as well) and they are 不 limited to just the STEM disciplines. The NSF supports research in education and the social sciences, 除了科学技术.

NSF Announces Deadline for 研究 in Undergraduate Institutions

The 研究 in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) activity supports research by faculty members of predominantly undergraduate institutions through the funding of (1) individual and collaborative research projects, (2) the purchase of shared-use research instrumentation, and (3) 研究 Opportunity Awards for work with NSF-supported investigators at other institutions. All NSF directorates participate in the RUI activity. RUI proposals are evaluated and funded by the NSF programs in the disciplinary areas of the proposed research. Eligible "predominantly undergraduate" institutions include U.S. 两年, 四年, 硕士, and small doctoral colleges and universities that (1) grant baccalaureate degrees in NSF-supported fields, or provide programs of instruction for students pursuing such degrees with institutional transfers (e.g., 两年的学校), (2) have undergraduate enrollment exceeding graduate enrollment, (3)平均授予不超过10个博士学位.D. 或维.Sc. 每年在所有nsf支持的学科中获得学位. Autonomous campuses in a system are considered independently, although they may be submitting their proposals through a central office. A 研究 Opportunity Award is usually funded as a supplement to the NSF grant of the host researcher, and the application is submitted by the host institution.
