To better support researchers in ND to build capacity and competitiveness through National Science Foundation (NSF) awards, especially the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement: EPSCoR Research Incubators for STEM Excellence (E-RISE) and the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems (E-CORE), a pre-planning grant program is being offered for PUI and TCU institutions in ND.
These awards are to initiate early-stage team building and project ideation by providing the necessary resources to convene and help catalyze collaborative, interdisciplinary, and interinstitutional conversations. The funds are not for pilot projects or data collection.
