EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems
Funds the parts of an EPSCoR jurisdiction's research system that everything else rests on — administration, facilities, partnerships, technology transfer.
Where EPSCoR's other programmes fund research, E-CORE funds the machinery around it. It supports a jurisdiction in building lasting research capacity in targeted areas — cores — that underlie its research ecosystem.
Which cores get funded comes from the jurisdiction's own evidence-based, self-identified needs, and NSF's list is open rather than fixed: research administration, research facilities …
Building sustainable research-ecosystem cores across an EPSCoR-eligible jurisdiction — research administration, facilities and cyberinfrastructure, education and early-career pathways, broadening participation, partnerships, community engagement, technology transfer, economic development and use-inspired research pathways.
