NSF EPSCoR RII Track 2 - Internal Competition: Information Session Audience: Faculty, Postdocs, Other Researchers ---- All UNH campuses NSF’s RII Track-2 FEC seeks to build nationally and internationally competitive collaborative teams of EPSCoR investigators by providing a mechanism to coalesce investigator expertise into a critical mass for a sustained, effective research and education partnership toward NSF priorities. Projects are investigator-driven and must include researchers from at least two EPSCoR jurisdictions with complementary expertise and resources necessary to address challenges, which neither party could address as well or rapidly independently. RII Track-2 FEC projects have a comprehensive and integrated vision to drive discovery and build sustainable STEM capacity that exemplifies individual, institutional, geographic, and disciplinary diversity. For FY24, NSF is interested in supporting collaborations that advance climate change research and resilience capacity to expand opportunities for disproportionately affected communities. This information session will discuss the RII Track-2 FEC program in more depth and provide information about the internal competition that UNH will conduct to select the one proposal allowed by NSF.
