These organizations must have an independent, permanent administrative organization (e.g., an office of sponsored research) located in the United States, its territories or possessions, and have 501(c)(3) tax status. Proposals may be submitted either as a collaborative from multiple organizations or from one organization with support for collaborators requested as subawards. *Who May Serve as PI: Principal Investigators of proposed RII Track-2 FEC projects must be affiliated and employed by eligible organizations in EPSCoR jurisdictions. Each EPSCoR jurisdiction participating in a proposed project must be represented by a PI or at least one co-PI. The PI and co-PIs must all have research expertise relevant to the focus area of the research being proposed. PIs and Co-PIs on current NSF EPSCoR RII Track-2 FEC awards with end dates (including any No Cost Extensions) beyond October 31, 2023/2024 (for the respective FY2023/2024 competitions) are not eligible to submit proposals as a PI or Co-PI in this competition.
