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.

Current funded projects in Delaware:

RII Track-2 FEC: Neural networks underlying the integration of knowledge and perception
Award Number:1632849; Principal Investigator: Jared Medina (UD); Co-Principal Investigator:Timothy Vickery (UD), Matthew Johnson (NE), Jacqueline Snow (NV), Marian Berryhill (NV)

RII Track-2 FEC: G2P in VOM: An Experimental and Analytical Framework for Genome to Phenome Connections in Viruses of Microbes
Award Number:1736030; Principal Investigator:K. Wommack (UD); Co-Principal Investigator:Jason Gleghorn, Grieg Steward, James Van Etten, Marcia Marston.
