EPSCoR Live!

Estab­lished Program to Stim­u­late Com­pet­i­tive Research (EPSCoR)

About the series

The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is hosting virtual forums to enable conversation about NSF programs, policies, and updates. Researchers, educators, and leaders within research administration, especially those in EPSCoR jurisdictions, are welcome to join these events to learn more about the latest programs and news and to engage in Q&A with EPSCoR Program Officers.

Events are planned at roughly monthly intervals and the topics vary for each event. Each event will begin with a brief presentation, followed by extensive questions and discussion. 

 

EPSCoR Live! on Exploring the Administrative Core for E-CORE

July 17 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. EDT

Audience: This EPSCoR Live! session will be of interest to EPSCoR State Offices, EPSCoR RII PIs, E-CORE RII current and potentially future awardees, and all EPSCoR stakeholders

Topic: Join us for a deeper dive into exploring the critical role of the required Administrative Core component of the EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement (E-CORE RII) Program. E-CORE RII is designed to connect all aspects of the research ecosystem in EPSCoR jurisdictions, including the EPSCoR state offices, the broader research environment, researchers, stakeholders, and STEM research, education, and workforce development activities.

This virtual session will include a walkthrough of the role and promising models of the E-CORE Administrative Core, which includes jurisdiction-wide functions of supporting, operating, managing, and disseminating research capacity building activities in the jurisdiction.  The session will further complement the June 2024 EPSCoR Live! on Exploring EPSCoR Research Ecosystems, which highlighted best practices and innovative solutions developed by the EPSCoR community to optimize connections within the jurisdiction’s current research ecosystem.

How to Attend: Advance registration is required. Click here to register. Please use an institutional email address for registration. 

How to Submit Questions: EPSCoR Live! participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance through the registration form or by sending an email to epscor-live@nsf.gov.
