Description
The Vermont EPSCoR Pilot Research Grant Program (E-RISE) aims to foster the creation and sustainability of research incubators that advance STEM research capacity, workforce development, and collaborative ecosystems in Vermont. The program emphasizes clear research goals, capacity-building in targeted areas, and integration of research with societal impacts. Successful projects will demonstrate a plan for sustaining research teams and outputs beyond the funding period, encourage collaboration across academic and non-academic sectors, and align with the SOCKS (Science of Online Corpora, Knowledge, and Stories) initiative, which focuses on data-driven, computational research in narrative analytics and related fields.
