About the series

EPSCoR Live! is a virtual forum to enable conversations about U.S. National Science Foundation programs and topics of particular relevance to the NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR) community. Researchers, educators and leaders within research administration, especially those in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions, are welcome to join these sessions to learn more about the latest programs and news and to engage in Q&A with invited speakers. 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. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) serves as the host organization for EPSCoR Live!
