The U.S. National Science Foundation is investing approximately $40 million to support research and STEM workforce development in Delaware, Guam, Kentucky, Louisiana and Vermont. These grants are part of the NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR), which aims to bolster research competitiveness among 28 targeted states and territories, referred to as jurisdictions.
“EPSCoR is a driving force in enabling STEM research for everyone, everywhere, ensuring broad access to innovation and opportunity,” said NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan. “This cohort of E-CORE projects exemplifies the transformative power of investing in research infrastructure, and their contributions are poised to generate a lasting, sustainable impact on these jurisdictions’ research ecosystems.”
This is the third cohort of awards made through the NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Program: EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems (NSF E-CORE). Over the next four years, the teams will each receive roughly $8 million to improve research infrastructure, build collaborative partnerships and expand science, technology, engineering and mathematics networks within their jurisdiction. NSF E-CORE was established in response to the 2022 Study of the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, the Envisioning the Future of NSF EPSCoR Final Report and the “CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.”
Through these projects, awardees will help drive scalable impacts that align with EPSCoR goals. The projects will promote research with practical benefits, boost economic growth and address research infrastructure gaps in areas that

This Notice provides information regarding the salary limitation for AHRQ grant and cooperative agreement awards and extramural research and development contract awards.
Since 1990, Congress has legislatively mandated a limitation on direct salary for individuals under AHRQ grant and cooperative agreement awards (referred to here as a grant) and contract awards. The mandate appears in the annual appropriation act that provides authority for AHRQ to incur obligations for a given Fiscal Year (FY). At this time, AHRQ has not received an FY 2025 appropriation and is operating under a Continuing Resolution, the “Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (Public Law 118-83), that applies the terms and conditions of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 restricts the amount of direct salary to Executive Level II of the Federal Executive pay scale. The Office of Personnel Management recently released new salary levels for the
