Our Projects
Nebraska EPSCoR has earned success in forming research partnerships to address scientific challenges to improve quality of life for America and the world. We align Nebraska for research with results that are greater than the sum of the component parts. Since the NE EPSCoR office formed in 1991, these efforts have successfully competed for more than $400 million in federal research funding. Read more about our projects below.

Infrastructure Improvement 2010 - 2016, $22 million
In 2010, Nebraska EPSCoR gained a five-year Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) grant, #1004094, from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to further develop its research and education infrastructure.
Infrastructure Improvement 2007 - 2010, $9 million
In 2007 Nebraska EPSCoR received a three-year Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) grant, #0701892, from the National Science Foundation to continue development of research and education infrastructure.
Infrastructure Improvement 2004 - 2007, $9 million
In 2004, Nebraska EPSCoR received a three-year Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) grant from the National Science Foundation to continue development of research and education infrastructure.
Infrastructure Improvement 2001 - 2004, $8.7 million
In 2001, Nebraska EPSCoR received a three-year Infrastructure Improvement grant (#0091900) from the National Science Foundation.
Infrastructure Improvement 1998 - 2001, $2.7 million
A three-year cooperative agreement (#9720643) with the National Science Foundation centered around NSF EPSCoR's emphasis on developing infrastructure rather than supporting specific research clusters as in the previous agreement.
Research Clusters 1993-1998, $6.7 million
The National Science Foundation EPSCoR Program funded five research clusters in Nebraska beginning in July 1993.
