This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2, is for the purpose of fostering scientific progress and enhancing research and development (R&D) competitiveness in historically underfunded jurisdictions. Eligible participants include 31 EPSCoR jurisdictions, forming consortia to promote collaborative advancements in science, engineering, and education. Awards range from $1.5 to $2.0 million annually for up to three years. Successful proposals will present a clear vision for driving discovery, training a skilled workforce, and demonstrate the consortium’s unique ability to achieve results unattainable by individual partners. The program specifically encourages broadening participation across institutions and individuals within STEM fields.

| 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 jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF Research and Development (R&D) funding. Thirty-one jurisdictions including twenty-eight states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands, and Guam currently are 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 funds in the range of $1.5 to 2.0 million per year for up to 3 years to consortia of EPSCoR jurisdictions. The awards promote opportunities for collaborations among EPSCoR jurisdictions in all areas of science, engineering, and education supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). RII Track-2 proposals must describe a clear, comprehensive, and integrated vision to drive discovery, and train a skilled workforce capable of solving science and engineering challenges of regional, thematic, and national relevance. Proposals should also include a strong rationale for the establishment of the consortium and clearly demonstrate that the consortium is well-positioned to produce results that cannot be obtained by any single partner working independently. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) research and education activities should broaden participation by different types of institutions, individuals, and sectors in the project. |
