About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals for the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: EPSCoR Research Incubators for STEM Excellence (E-RISE RII). This grant opportunity aims to incubate research teams and products in a scientific topical area that links to research priorities identified in the submitting jurisdiction's approved Science and Technology (S&T) Plan. Successful proposals must demonstrate the ability to (i) build research capacity within a chosen research topic, (ii) develop a skilled workforce, (iii) promote diversity and inclusion, (iv) integrate research with societal impacts, and (v) establish a sustainable pathway to preserve the resulting research incubator's team and products beyond the grant funding period. Proposals are due by August 1, 2025.
The total budget for this program is $35 million, with individual awards expected to range from $1 million to $4 million over a 3-5 year period. The projects will primarily be conducted at academic research facilities, often involving collaborations with national laboratories and industry partners.
Synopsis
The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) fulfills the mandate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress nationwide. NSF EPSCoR facilitates the establishment of partnerships among academic institutions, government, industry, and non-profit sectors that are designed to promote sustainable improvements in the research infrastructure, Research and Development (R & D) capacity, and R & D competitiveness of EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions (i.e., states, territories, and commonwealths). The E-RISE RII program supports the incubation of research teams and products in a scientific topical area that links to research priorities identified in the submitting jurisdiction's approved Science and Technology (S & T) Plan. E-RISE RII invites innovative proposals that will lead to development and implementation of sustainable broad networks of individuals, institutions, and organizations that will transform the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research capacity and competitiveness in a jurisdiction within the chosen field of research. E-RISE RII projects must be designed to incubate (i) areas of research capacity building within a chosen research topic; (ii) development of a skilled workforce that is relevant to the project and its outcomes; (iii) promotion of diversity, equity, access, and a culture of inclusion of different types of academic institutions (see below) and non-academic sectors (e.g., industry and government); (iv) integration of the research with societal impacts in a timebound manner; and (v) sustainability of a clear pathway towards preserving the resulting research incubator's team and products beyond E-RISE RII funding.
