Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers (ERC)
The ERC program is placing greater emphasis on research that leads to societal impact, including convergent approaches, engaging stakeholder communities, and strengthening team formation, in response to the NASEM study recommendations.
The ERC program intends to support planning activities leading

This planning grant pilot initiative is designed to foster and facilitate the engineering community’s thinking about how to form convergent research collaborations.
To participate in the upcoming ERC competition, one is not required to submit a planning grant proposal nor to receive a planning grant.
