Congress Wants More EPSCoR: Get Your Proposal Out the Door!

MSU is an EPSCoR institution (as defined by NSF, NASA, DOE and DOD). You may be wondering what being part of the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) really means, as well as how it relates to your own research. Congress has mandated increased federal funding for EPSCoR institutions.

Listen and learn about:

  1. What is EPSCoR, what are its goals, and what does this specifically look like at MSU and in Montana;
  2. How grantseekers can leverage this federal push for increased EPSCoR funding; and
  3. How to access campus resources and partners to harness this opportunity responsibly and respectfully.
