NSF EPSCoR’s Track-2 Solicitation was just released! The required theme of these proposals is, “Advancing research towards industries of tomorrow to ensure economic growth for EPSCoR jurisdictions.”
Every institution in Kentucky can lead one proposal submission to this program and furthermore, every institution can be a collaborative partner on additional proposals that are led by an institution in another EPSCoR state.
Participants: please check with your institutions’ sponsored research offices to see if they are running an internal competition to choose which proposal will be the lead at your institution, and which other proposals will be collaborative-partner submissions.
Please contact jeff.mossey@uky.edu information about how the program works. The NSF’s solicitation for this program (22-523) can be found here: https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/epscor-research-infrastructure-improvement-program-track-2-focused-epscor-0
