Upcoming solicitation due dates: RII Track-4, EPSCoR Research Fellows due March 12, 2019
The FY19 Eligibility Table is now available. In alignment with legislative and study recommendations EPSCoR is planning to re-examine its eligibility methodology to ensure that it is simple, transparent, fair, and stable. We will be engaging with the EPSCoR community and stakeholders through a variety of ways to ensure that all concerns are addressed and get feedback to help develop a more robust eligibility model. To kick off this community engagement on eligibility, EPSCoR hosted an informational webinar and Q&A session on Thursday, March 14. Slides from the webinar can be viewed here.
