The EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-1, offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is designed to foster scientific advancement nationwide. This grant aims to address disparities in research funding by targeting jurisdictions historically receiving less NSF Research and Development (R&D) support, including 27 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The program establishes partnerships across government, academia, and industry to facilitate long-term enhancements in regional research infrastructure and R&D capacity, boosting national competitiveness. Specifically, RII Track-1 awards provide up to $4 million annually for five years to support critical improvements in physical, human, and cyber infrastructure within research areas chosen for their potential to significantly improve a jurisdiction’s future R&D competitiveness.

| Description: | The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is a program designed to fulfill the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) mandate to promote scientific progress nationwide. The EPSCoR program is directed at those jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF Research and Development (R&D) funding. Twenty-seven states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands are currently eligible to participate. Through this program, NSF establishes partnerships with government, higher education and industry that are designed to effect lasting improvements in a state’s or region’s research infrastructure, R&D capacity and hence, its national R&D competitiveness.Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-1 (RII Track-1) awards provide up to $4 million per year for up to 5 years to support physical, human, and cyber infrastructure improvements in research areas selected by the jurisdiction’s EPSCoR governing committee as having the best potential to improve future R&D competitiveness of the jurisdiction. |
