About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals for the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Workshop Opportunities. This program aims to promote scientific progress nationwide by establishing partnerships with government, higher education, and industry to improve research infrastructure, R&D capacity, and national competitiveness in EPSCoR jurisdictions. The NSF welcomes unsolicited proposals from EPSCoR jurisdictions for workshops focused on innovative ways to address multi-jurisdictional efforts on themes of regional to national importance. Proposals will be evaluated based on their alignment with EPSCoR's goals/objectives and NSF's mission. The deadline for submitting proposals is not provided.
Typical award values under this program range from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The work is expected to be primarily performed at academic and research institutions across the United States, particularly in EPSCoR jurisdictions, which include 28 states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Synopsis
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.
