The National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR program offers this grant to improve research infrastructure through enhanced inter-campus and intra-campus cyber connectivity. Directed at jurisdictions historically receiving less R&D funding, this program aims to boost national R&D competitiveness. Awards of up to $1 million for two years support improved broadband access for academic research, aligning with the jurisdiction’s Science and Technology plan. This initiative seeks to broaden individual and institutional participation in STEM research and education, fostering synergy among various EPSCoR activities within and across eligible states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

| 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.The Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Inter-Campus and Intra-Campus Cyber Connectivity (RII C2). Awards made under this program will provide up to $1 million for up to 2 years to support the enhancement of inter-campus and intra-campus cyber connectivity within an EPSCoR jurisdiction. These awards are intended to enhance broadband access for academic research and the utilization of cyberinfrastructure consistent with the jurisdiction’s Science and Technology (S&T) plan. The inter-campus and intra-campus connectivity targeted by these awards is expected to broaden individual and institutional participation in STEM research and education activities within and among jurisdictions and to facilitate synergy among NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement activities. |
