Description
This initiative by Delaware EPSCoR accelerates research and innovation within EPSCoR jurisdictions by providing co-funding for high-quality, meritorious proposals that might otherwise not be funded due to budget constraints. The program enhances the competitiveness of researchers and institutions, fosters collaborations across disciplines and regions, and broadens the inclusion of underrepresented groups in science and engineering. Priority is given to new investigators, collaborative efforts, and cross-disciplinary projects, aiming to strengthen research capabilities and expand participation in NSF's research and education programs.
