Description
The EPSCoR Workshop Opportunities program aims to stimulate competitive research by supporting workshops that build research capacity, foster multi-jurisdictional collaborations, and address themes of regional or national importance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Workshops should engage a broad community, promote the participation of underrepresented groups, and catalyze new partnerships or center-level initiatives relevant to the NSF and EPSCoR missions. Both in-person and virtual/hybrid workshops are eligible.
