-
Funds budgeted under RII grants must be spent in Arkansas; however, the FY2007 solicitation may be expanded to include Strength-Based Research Collaborations (SBRC) of regional scope.

The RII is not an appropriate mechanism to provide support for individual faculty research projects.

The content of the final RII proposal will be determined by the Arkansas State EPSCoR governing Committee as required by NSF guidelines.
