The National Science Foundation (NSF) offers the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) to advance scientific progress in historically underfunded jurisdictions, including 27 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This program establishes partnerships to enhance states’ research infrastructure and R&D competitiveness. Specifically, the NSF is offering the Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2 (RII Track-2) grant, which provides up to $2 million annually for three years to consortia of EPSCoR jurisdictions. This grant is for supporting innovation-enabling cyberinfrastructure of regional, thematic, or technological importance. Successful proposals must detail a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure vision to drive discovery, broaden STEM participation, and deliver long-term value across science and engineering disciplines, ultimately enhancing learning and economic development.

| 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-2 (RII Track-2) awards provide up to $2 million per year for up to 3 years to consortia of EPSCoR jurisdictions to support innovation-enabling cyberinfrastructure of regional, thematic, or technological importance. A successful RII Track-2 proposal must describe a clear, comprehensive, and integrated cyberinfrastructure vision to drive discovery, broaden participation in STEM research and education activities, and provide collective solutions to cyberinfrastructure challenges of regional and national importance. The proposal must also describe how robust, reliable environments, capabilities, and capacities will be provided to deliver long term value across science and engineering disciplines. These awards will enhance discovery, learning, and economic development through the use of cyberinfrastructure. |
