Background Image Alternative Text: viles and papers sitting on desk Opportunities for funding through the MRA include: Seed Grants: Support for faculty-initiated research projects Instrumentation Acquisition Awards: Acquisition of multi-user instrumentation Instrumentation Use Vouchers: Increase access to MRA affiliated resources Travel Awards: Travel to jurisdictional meetings and facilitate training The MRA will help position Mississippi as a national front-runner in science and technology through making investments throughout the state’s research community.
All academic institution granting four-year degrees are eligible to receive funding through the MRA through formal partnering with the program. Half of the funds are allocated to be awarded to emerging research institutions (ERIs), which are defined as an institution of higher education with an established undergraduate or graduate program that has less than $50,000,000 in federal research expenditures.
All budgets are to be submitted in NSF format. Budgets may include faculty salaries, postdoctoral salaries, graduate and undergraduate student salaries, fees, and tuition, supplies, contractual, equipment and travel. The budgets must include appropriate fringes on all personnel salary and must include F&A.
No subcontracts are allowed. Cost-share is not required. Proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers for scientific merit, appropriateness of budget, potential for future funding, utilization of MRA resources, and training opportunities for students.
The reviewers will provide scientific review without funding recommendations and the Mississippi EPSCoR Jurisdictional Steering Committee will make the final funding decisions. Please refer to the MRA NOFO Document (click here) for complete descriptions of each opportunity, eligibility and application requirements. Correction Notice: A previously circulated MRA NOFO document mistakenly referenced cost-share as required.
This is incorrect. No MRA funding program requires cost-share and the NOFO document has been corrected to remove this reference.

E-RISE RII: MS Nano-bio and ImmunoEngineering Consortium (NIEC) We invite proposals that align with the Mississippi Nano-bio and ImmunoEngineering Consortium (NIEC) by addressing one of the three key scientific research focus areas: RFA1, which emphasizes Biomimetic Materials to Modulate Nano-Immuno Interactions via Protein Corona Engineering; RFA2, which targets Polymer Nanocarrier Design for Efficient Nucleic Acid Complexation and Release; or RFA3, focusing on Pathogen Resilient Bioinspired Polymeric Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration.
Alternatively, proposals that explore emerging research directions complementary to NIEC initiatives are welcome, particularly those that foster collaborative research and expand the state’s nanobio expertise. We encourage applicants to engage with the PI, Science Director, or co-leaders of the RFAs for preliminary discussions to ensure that their proposals are well-aligned with our strategic objectives prior to submission.

The program is managed by the Alabama State Department of Education under State Superintendent Eric G. Mackey.
EPSCoR E-RISE funds research incubators at up to $8M over four years, with renewals to $4.5M more and up to 15 awards a year. It is the build-the-engine companion to E-CORE's build-the-ecosystem grant. Here is who is eligible, how E-RISE differs from E-CORE, and why the August 11 deadline rewards jurisdictions that picked a focused research theme months ago.
Read articleEPSCoR's E-CORE program funds up to 15 awards of as much as $10M each over four years to build research infrastructure in states that have historically received the least NSF money. Here is how the program works, who is eligible, and how to build a competitive cross-institutional proposal before the July 21, 2026 deadline.
Read articleThe NSF CAREER award pays a minimum of $400K over five years, is open once a year to pre-tenure faculty across every NSF directorate, and shapes tenure cases far beyond its dollar value. With the FY2026 deadline on July 22 and program officer discretion rising, here is what reviewers actually reward and why the integrated education plan is the part most applicants get wrong.
