EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program Track-1:: <p align="left">The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is designed to fulfill the mandate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress nationwide. A jurisdiction is eligible to participate in EPSCoR programs if its level of NSF research support is equal to or less than 0.75 percent of the total NSF research and related activities budget for the most recent three year period (see <a title="EPSCoR FY15 Eligibility Tables" href="http://www.nsf.gov/od/iia/programs/epscor/Eligibility_Tables/FY2015_Eligibility.pdf" target="_blank">eligibility</a> table). Through this program, NSF establishes partnerships with government, higher education, and industry that are designed to effect sustainable improvements in a jurisdiction's research infrastructure, Research and Development (R&amp;D) capacity, and hence, its R&amp;D competitiveness.

<p align="left">Research Infrastructure Improvement Track-1 (RII Track-1) awards provide up to $4 million per year for up to 5 years to support physical, human, and cyber infrastructure improvements in research areas selected by the jurisdiction's EPSCoR steering committee as having the best potential to improve future R&amp;D competitiveness of the jurisdiction.
