Description
The Vermont EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement: EPSCoR Research Incubators for STEM Excellence (E-RISE) program is designed to catalyze innovative research projects that enhance Vermont’s STEM research capacity and workforce. Aligned with the NSF-funded SOCKS (Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories) initiative, E-RISE emphasizes projects that integrate research with meaningful societal impacts, foster cross-sector collaboration, and include a sustainability plan for long-term impact. Projects should address clear hypotheses or problems and demonstrate alignment with SOCKS research areas such as data science, narrative analytics, healthcare communications, and equity.
