_Mission:_ Using different animal models, we will leverage infrastructure and human investments to answer fundamental questions about neural plasticity in two inter-related themes: 1) Circuit plasticity during development and adulthood, and 2) Synaptic structure and plasticity associated with altered function.
**WV-NFNT** will build capacity and achieve the project vision by creating a network of neuroscience researchers working on high resolution structure-function studies in two-related themes: circuit and synaptic plasticity, and creating a related education and workforce development effort.
We will build capacity by making strategic faculty and staff hires, adding state-of the art microscopy and spatial transcriptomics infrastructure, and facilitating growth of the neuroscience community across the state.
We will expand the capability of those working in the fields of neuroscience and bioinformatics through support for faculty, post docs, educators, and students, and by implementing specific education and workforce development activities to engage students, especially rural, first-generation college students, in these research areas.
Marshall University, Shepherd University, West Virginia State University, and West Virginia University are the four partner institutions at which capacity-building will be funded by the project. **All Hands Meeting**_July 23, 2026_ _**Senior Director, Science, Technology & Research; West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission**_ **janet. rorrer@wvresearch.

The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
NSF's E-CORE program funds up to 15 awards of up to $10 million over four years to help EPSCoR jurisdictions build the infrastructure cores — administration, cyberinfrastructure, workforce pipelines — that make research competitive. It's an institution-level award, not a lab grant, and the July 21, 2026 deadline rewards a fundamentally different proposal than most NSF competitions. Here's how it works.
Read articleNSF EPSCoR E-CORE funds jurisdiction-wide research ecosystems in 28 EPSCoR-eligible states and territories with awards up to $10M over four years. The July 21, 2026 deadline funds up to 15 new hubs from a $37.5M pool. Here's who qualifies, what a research ecosystem actually means, and how to compete.
Read articleNSF 25-523 (E-CORE) puts up to $10 million over four years behind jurisdiction-wide research infrastructure cores — research administration, cyberinfrastructure, STEM pathways, broadening participation — in EPSCoR-eligible states and territories. Here is how E-CORE differs from E-RISE, who can lead a proposal, and how a jurisdiction should think about the July 21 deadline.
