NSF EPSCoR Research Fellows Webinar

NSF WEBINAR - 01/20/2023 2:00 pm ET - Register in advance

The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is hosting a webinar to share information about the Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Track-4: EPSCoR Research Fellows solicitation NSF 23-535. This opportunity provides awards to build research capacity and transform the career trajectories of non-tenured and tenured investigators through extended collaborative visits to the nation's premier private, governmental, or academic research centers.

This solicitation offers two tracks - RII Track-4:NSF and RII Track 4:@NASA. While they are similar in achieving the same goals, RII Track-4:NSF is open to a broad community, and RII Track-4:@NASA focuses on PIs from specific institutions of higher education with high enrollments of trainees from underrepresented populations in STEM (See the solicitation more details) to collaborate specifically with researchers at NASA's participating research centers. The aim of this webinar is to inform the community about this opportunity.
