Proposals sought for Nebraska EPSCoR’s university-industry program

Tenure-track or tenured professors who wish to forge research and development (R&D) relationships with private industry have an opportunity to have their work supported through Nebraska EPSCoR’s University-Industry R&D Partnership Program.












About EPSCoR



EPSCoR — the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research — was established by Congress to support science, mathematics and technology research, infrastructure and education in states that receive disproportionately lower amounts of federal research funding. Since 1991, Nebraska has received more than $251 million from federal EPSCOR/IDeA programs.




The program offers up to $25,000 in cost-sharing funds for university-industry collaborative science or technology-based research and development projects.

A call for proposals has been issued with a deadline of March 1.

The program intends to foster new partnerships and strengthen existing partnerships between faculty of Nebraska colleges and universities and state industries.

The program requires the participation of one principal investigator from academia and one from industry. Any tenured or tenure-leading faculty member affiliated with a Nebraska university or college is eligible to participate in the program, as well as any Nebraska business.
