SYNOPSIS

The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program provides support to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions (MSI) through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. MSIs of higher education denote institutions that have undergraduate enrollments of 50% or more (based on total student enrollment) of members of minority groups underrepresented among those holding advanced degrees in science and engineering fields: African Americans, Alaska Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. CREST Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (PRF) awards provide research experience and training for early career scientists at active CREST Centers. HBCU-RISE awards specifically target HBCUs to support the expansion of institutional research capacity as well as the production of doctoral students, especially those from groups underrepresented in STEM, at those institutions.

 The CREST program supports the following types of projects:

CREST Center awards provide multi-year support (typically 5-years) for eligible minority-serving institutions that demonstrate a strong research and education base, a compelling vision for research infrastructure improvement, and a comprehensive plan with the necessary elements to achieve and sustain national competitiveness in a clearly defined area of national significance in science or engineering research.  Successful Center proposals will demonstrate a clear vision and synergy with the broad goals of the CREST Program and the Human Resource Development Division with respect to development of a diverse STEM workforce.  CREST Centers are expected to provide leadership in the involvement of groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM at all levels (faculty, students, and postdoctoral researchers) within the Center.  Centers are required to use either proven or innovative mechanisms to address issues such as recruitment, retention and mentorship of participants from underrepresented groups. 

CREST Partnership Supplements support the establishment or strengthening of partnerships and collaborations between active CREST Centers and nationally or internationally recognized research centers including NSF-supported research centers, and private sector research laboratories, K-12 entities including museums and science centers or schools, as appropriate to enable the CREST Centers to advance knowledge and education on a research theme of national significance. 

CREST Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (PRF) awards recognize beginning CREST Center investigators with significant potential and provide them with research experiences that broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions and establish them in positions of leadership within the scientific community. Fellows conduct research on topics aligned with the research focus of the host CREST Center. The fellowships are also designed to provide active mentoring to the Fellows by the sponsoring CREST Center scientists who, in turn, will benefit from the incorporation of these talented scientists into their research groups.

HBCU Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (RISE) awards support the development of research capability at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines. Supported projects must have a unifying research focus in one of the research areas supported by NSF, a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department(s), institutional strategic plan and mission, and plans for expanding institutional research capacity as well as increasing the production of doctoral students, especially those underrepresented in STEM.

SBIR/STTR Phase IIa Diversity Collaboration Supplements provide an opportunity for existing SBIR/STTR Phase II projects to initiate collaborations with minority-serving institutions that have active CREST Center or HBCU-RISE awards. These supplemental proposals are administered by and co-funded with the NSF Directorate for Engineering Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (ENG/IIP).

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

This program provides educational opportunities for  Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, Postdoctoral Fellows. This program provides indirect funding for students at this level or focuses on educational developments for this group such as curricula development, training or retention. To inquire about possible funding opportunities not directly from NSF, please look at the active awards for this program.

The Alexander von Humboldt Professorship is the most highly endowed German science award and is awarded exclusively to top researchers who are world leaders in their field and who are active abroad. The Humboldt Professorship is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It enables long-term, forward-looking research to be carried out at universities and research institutions in Germany and makes a lasting contribution to the international competitiveness of Germany as a research location. For this purpose, up to ten Humboldt Professorships have been awarded every year since 2008 within the framework of the International Research Fund for Germany. In 2020, the Alexander von Humboldt Professorships for Artificial Intelligence (AI) were also launched.

WANTED: Alexander von Humboldt professors

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation wants to award more women academics with an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship. So far, the proportion of top female researchers nominated for Germany’s most highly endowed research award has been around 15 percent over the past twelve years. Behavioral ecologist Margaret Crofoot has been researching as an Alexander von Humboldt Professor at the University of Konstanz since 2019. To belong to a minority as a woman in top research in Germany is an unusual experience for the American. A multimedia report about Crofoot’s research on group behavior of humans and monkeys and about her experiences with the research country Germany:

Universities in Germany are entitled to make proposals. Non-university research institutions in Germany can initiate a nomination together with a university that is eligible to apply. The nominations are to be forwarded to the Humboldt Foundation via the rectors or the presidents of the respective university and, if applicable, via the scientific directorates or boards of the non-university research institution.

Who can be nominated?

Worldwide leading, excellently qualified researchers who work abroad and are scientifically established and who could be appointed to a professorship in Germany can be nominated.

What is important for a nomination?

In addition to the scientific quality of the nominees, the decisive criterion for awarding the prize is the persuasiveness of the concept for their involvement and its importance for achieving the strategic goals of the nominating institution.

Proposals that enjoy the full support of the university management, that regard the Humboldt Professorship as an integral part of the university-wide development strategy, and that relate to a department for whose subject orientation and structure significant further development is planned or have already begun, have a chance of success.

The nominating institution must give a detailed opinion on the following points:

  • the scientific qualification of the nominee,
  • its fit into the development planning of the facility,
  • the strategic development planning of the nominating research institution, for example with regard to strengthening international competitiveness,
  • ensuring the permanent integration of the nominee into the structures of the research institution beyond the duration of the funding.
