FEDERAL PROGRAMS
Office of Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive
Research (CFDA No. 47.081) – As an investment strategy,
co-funding enables members of the research communities
within EPSCoR jurisdictions not only to improve their ability
to compete for National Science Foundation (NSF) program
funds, but also to increase their active participation and visibility
as members of the national scientific research and education
enterprise. To assist those jurisdictions that historically have
received lesser amounts of academic research and development
funding. The NSF EPSCoR Office established the Co-funding
Initiative in FY 1998 to accelerate the movement of more
researchers and institutions from EPSCoR jurisdictions into
the mainstream of NSF support, and thereby contribute to the
NSF EPSCoR concept of a Trajectory for Sustainable Scientific
Success.
Polar Programs (CFDA No 47. 078) – Program to strengthen
and enhance the national scientific enterprise through
the expansion of fundamental knowledge and increased
understanding of the polar regions. To encourage and support
basic research in the Arctic and Antarctic focused on the
solid earth, glacial and sea ice, terrestrial ecosystems, the
oceans, the atmosphere and beyond. Major objectives include
understanding of the natural phenomena and processes in the
Antarctic and Arctic regions and their role in global systems.
To provide postdoctoral fellowships for the development
and training of new investigators in polar regions research
with goals to support innovative research in emerging areas,
encourage interdisciplinary research, foster activities that
create broader impacts for science and society, and to increase
the participation of underrepresented groups. Support also is
provided for science and technology centers, undergraduate
