Submission – NSF – EPSCoR Research Infrastructure
Improvement Track 4: EPSCoR Research Fellows (RII
Track-4)
(NSF 18-526); March 10, 2020
Purpose: The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive
Research (EPSCoR) is designed to fulfill the mandate
of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress
nationwide. The
Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-4: EPSCoR Research Fellows
(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. During these visits, the EPSCoR Research
Fellows will be able to learn new techniques, develop new collaborations or
advance existing partnerships, benefit from access to unique equipment and
facilities, and/or shift their research toward potentially transformative new
directions. The experiences gained through the fellowships are intended to have
lasting impacts that will enhance the Fellows’ research trajectories well beyond
the award period. These benefits to the Fellows are also expected to in turn
improve the research capacity of their institutions and jurisdictions more
broadly.
Eligibility:
PIs must hold a non-tenured faculty
appointment. This may be in the form of a pre-tenure tenure-track position
or a long-term non-tenure-track position.
