Delaware hosts numerous EPSCoR programs focused on enhancing research infrastructure, fostering collaboration, and advancing STEM fields like environmental sustainability, renewable energy, and biotechnology.
DE EPSCoR Programs
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.
EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement-Focused EPSCoR Collaborations Program. The FEC program 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.
DOE EPSCoR
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DOE EPSCoR) is a federal-state partnership program designed to enhance the capabilities of designated states and territories to conduct sustainable and nationally competitive energy-related research.
