DE EPSCoR Programs

There are number of EPSCoR programs and projects in Delaware.

NASA EPSCoR objectives are to:

• Contribute to and promote the development of research infrastructure in EPSCoR jurisdictions in areas of strategic importance to the NASA mission.
• Improve the capabilities of the jurisdictions to gain support from sources outside the NASA EPSCoR program.
• Develop partnerships between NASA research assets, industry, and EPSCoR jurisdictions’ academic institutions.
• Contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and/or economic development of the jurisdiction.

Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations (RII Track-2 FEC). RII Track-2 FEC builds interjurisdictional collaborative teams of EPSCoR investigators in scientific focus areas consistent with NSF priorities. Projects are investigator-driven and must include researchers from at least two RII- eligible jurisdictions with complementary expertise and resources necessary to tackle those projects, which neither party could address as well or rapidly alone.

RII Track-4 provides opportunities for non-tenured investigators to further develop their individual research potential through extended collaborative visits to the nation’s premier private, governmental, or academic research centers.
