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

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
