Idaho NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII): Water Resources in a Changing Climate

Water Resources in a Changing Climate

The Idaho NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) project is a 5-year, $15 million award focused on building research capacity at Idaho's public universities - University of Idaho, Boise State University, and Idaho State University - related to Water Resources in a Changing Climate.

What is EPSCoR?

 

EPSCoR represents a federal-state partnership to enhance the science and engineering research, education, and technology capabilities of states that traditionally have received smaller amounts of federal R&D funds. Through EPSCoR, participating states are building a high-quality, academic research base that is serving as a backbone of scientific and technological (S&T) enterprise consistent with S&T strategic plans and technology platforms.

Idaho
EPSCoR currently is led by an EPSCoR Committee composed of 18 members with diverse professional backgrounds from both the public and private sectors and from all regions of the state.  The EPSCoR Committee reports to the Governor's Office and receives matching funds via the Higher Education Research Council (HERC).  The Idaho EPSCoR office and the State of Idaho EPSCoR Project Director are located at the University of Idaho, and partner institutions are Boise State University and Idaho State University.

EPSCoR increases the R&D competitiveness of an eligible state by developing and using the S&T resources in its major research institutions (those that grant significant numbers of the state's Ph.D. degrees in science and engineering disciplines) and partner institutions (more information about the S&T environment in Idaho).  EPSCoR achieves this by:

  • Stimulating sustainable S&T infrastructure improvements at the state and institutional levels to increase the ability of EPSCoR researchers to compete for Federal and private sector R&D funding.

  • Accelerating the movement of EPSCoR researchers and institutions into the mainstream of Federal and private sector R&D support.
