Summary
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering funding through the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Program, specifically the "Research Incubators for STEM Excellence" track. EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) targets jurisdictions that have historically received less federal R&D funding, aiming to build sustainable research capacity and infrastructure. This opportunity supports the development of STEM research ecosystems in eligible EPSCoR jurisdictions by funding collaborative, multi-institutional research incubator projects. The program seeks to improve the competitiveness of researchers and institutions in underserved states and territories in attracting future federal research funding.
