At this webinar, we will delve into the wealth of opportunities available through our Dear Colleague Letter: Expanding Geographic and Institutional Diversity in Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE), designed to foster geographic and demographic diversity in research. We are committed to promoting SBE-funded activities that drive sustainable growth and competitiveness across all 28 EPSCoR jurisdictions.

Our agenda includes:

Exploring funding opportunities for EPSCoR-eligible institutions.
Discussing collaborative proposals, with a special focus on Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs).
Understanding the broader impact of EPSCoR research on our nation's scientific landscape.

This webinar is not just an opportunity to learn—it's a chance to engage with NSF representatives and gain invaluable insights into shaping your proposals for success.

For any inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact us at nsfsbe-epscorinquiry@nsf.gov.

On June 13, 2024, program officers from the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Directorate at the U.S. National Science Foundation held a webinar about funding opportunities for researchers in states and jurisdictions that have historically received a smaller share of federal research funding. The EPSCoR program aims to strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematics capacity and capability in those targeted geographical areas.
