The National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR program offers the Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Track-1 grant. This grant promotes nationwide scientific progress by targeting 28 eligible jurisdictions (states and U.S. territories) with historically lower NSF R&D funding. Through partnerships with government, higher education, and industry, NSF aims to effect sustainable improvements in a jurisdiction’s research infrastructure and R&D capacity, boosting national competitiveness. RII Track-1 awards provide up to $4 million annually for five years, supporting physical, human, and cyber infrastructure in research areas chosen to enhance future R&D competitiveness.

| Description: | The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is designed to fulfill the mandate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress nationwide. This program is directed at those jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF Research and Development (R&D) funding. Twenty-eight jurisdictions, including twenty-five states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territories of Guam and the U. S. Virgin Islands are currently eligible to participate in the RII program. Through this program, NSF establishes partnerships with government, higher education, and industry that are designed to effect sustainable improvements in a jurisdiction’s research infrastructure, R&D capacity, and hence, its national R&D competitiveness.Research Infrastructure Improvement 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 steering committee as having the best potential to improve future R&D competitiveness of the jurisdiction. |
