EPSCoR Centers Development Initiative (CDI)

CDI is an EPSCoR Foundation initiative funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) aimed at increasing the participation of Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) researchers and universities in NSF’s portfolio of centers and large-scale programs.

CDI Provides Technical Assistance and Consulting to University Research Teams.

CDI works closely with university research administrators and state EPSCoR project directors to provide NSF-funded technical assistance and consulting to university research teams in the EPSCoR states competing for NSF centers and other large-scale projects.

For example, CDI works to:

  • Pre-review proposal drafts
  • Help identify, recruit, and support consultation from outside experts (with scientific discipline and/or specific NSF center program expertise)
  • Serve as an information source and provide guidance about centers and other large-scale programs at NSF
  • Help formulate center development strategies
