This internal competition is designed to make a final selection for the NSF Regional Innovation Engines (NSF ENGINES) opportunity. Multiple faculty members were permitted to submit concept papers for NSF approval by the June 30, 2022 concept paper deadline, however, the University of Utah is limited to one LOI submission (out of all approved Type-1 and Type-2 concept papers) as lead institution. NSF has begun the process of reviewing and publishing concept papers that were approved for LOI submission. The estimated completion date for this step of the process is August 1, 2022.
