Grant Overview
Wisconsin's Unique Landscape for EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations Wisconsin is an ideal location for interjurisdictional research collaborations, thanks to its distinctive geography and strong research infrastructure. The state's position in the Great Lakes region, bordering Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota, makes it an attractive partner for EPSCoR investigators seeking to tackle research questions that transcend state boundaries. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), a state agency, plays a key role in fostering economic growth through research and innovation, making it a natural fit for the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations. Wisconsin's diverse economy, which includes a strong manufacturing sector, a growing tech industry, and a significant agricultural presence, provides a rich backdrop for research collaborations. The state's research universities, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, are well-established and have a strong track record of securing federal research funding. The presence of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), a private, non-profit organization that supports innovation and entrepreneurship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, further enhances the state's research capacity. The state's frontier counties, such as those in the Northwoods region, offer opportunities for research in areas like forestry, agriculture, and water resources, while the Milwaukee metropolitan area provides a hub for research in manufacturing, healthcare, and other fields. Wisconsin's research strengths are further bolstered by its membership in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Collaboratory for Research on the Great Lakes, a regional research network that spans multiple states. ## Capacity for Interjurisdictional Research Wisconsin is well-positioned to support interjurisdictional research collaborations due to its existing research infrastructure and partnerships. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a member of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), a consortium of Big Ten universities that facilitates research collaborations and resource sharing. Additionally, the state's research institutions have established partnerships with organizations in neighboring states, such as the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan, providing a foundation for future collaborations. The Wisconsin Fast Forward grant program, which provides funding for workforce development and job training, has attracted businesses and organizations from across the region, further solidifying the state's position as a hub for research and innovation. Applicants seeking funding through the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations should highlight their connections to these existing research networks and partnerships, as well as their plans for leveraging Wisconsin's unique research assets to drive economic growth. ## Regional Fit and Economic Growth The EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations is a good fit for Wisconsin, as it aligns with the state's economic development goals and research strengths. The program's focus on emerging industries and interjurisdictional research collaborations is particularly relevant to Wisconsin's efforts to diversify its economy and drive growth in areas like advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, and clean energy. By supporting research collaborations between Wisconsin investigators and their counterparts in other states, such as Arizona, Delaware, and Kansas, the program will help to foster the development of new technologies and industries, creating jobs and driving economic growth in the state. The Wisconsin Grants for Nonprofits program and other state funding initiatives can be leveraged to support the proposed research projects. Q: What types of research collaborations are most likely to be funded through the EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaborations in Wisconsin?
