The NSF E-RISE Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) program supports the incubation of research teams and products in a scientific topical area that links to research priorities identified in the submitting jurisdiction’s approved science and technology plan. E-RISE RII invites innovative proposals that will lead to the development and implementation of sustainable broad networks of individuals, institutions and organizations that will transform the science, technology, engineering and mathematics research capacity and competitiveness in a jurisdiction within the chosen field of research. E-RISE RII projects must be designed to incubate (i) areas of research capacity building within a chosen research topic; (ii) development of a skilled workforce that is relevant to the project and its outcomes; (iii) promotion of diversity, equity, access and a culture of inclusion of different types of academic institutions (see below) and nonacademic sectors (e.g., industry and government); (iv) integration of the research with societal impacts in a timebound manner; and (v) sustainability of a clear pathway towards preserving the resulting research incubator’s team and products beyond E-RISE RII funding.
