This grant, offered by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) EPSCoR Office, is designed to enhance scientific progress and R&D competitiveness in jurisdictions historically receiving less NSF funding. It targets 30 eligible jurisdictions (28 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands) by inviting unsolicited proposals for workshops. This grant aims to establish partnerships across government, academia, and industry, to improve research infrastructure and R&D capacity sustainably. These workshops must focus on innovative, multi-jurisdictional efforts addressing themes of regional to national importance, aligning with EPSCoR’s goals and NSF’s mission.

| 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. The EPSCoR program is directed at those jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF Research and Development (R&D) funding. Thirty jurisdictions, including twenty-eight states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands, currently participate in EPSCoR. Through this program, NSF establishes partnerships with government, higher education and industry that are designed to effect sustainable improvementsin a jurisdiction’s research infrastructure, R&D capacity, and hence, its national R&D competitiveness.
The EPSCoR Office welcomes unsolicited proposals from EPSCoR jurisdictions for workshops involving the EPSCoR community. These workshops will focus on innovative ways to address multi-jurisdictional efforts on themes of regional to national importance with relevance to EPSCoR’s goals/objectives and NSF’s mission. |
