Research areas include materials science, chemistry, biological and environmental science, high energy and nuclear physics, advanced computer science, fossil energy science, and energy efficiency and renewable energy science.

A Thirst for Knowledge

In 2005, Vermont EPSCoR launched the Integrated Research on Water in the Environment (iRWE) Program to facilitate interdisciplinary research and graduate training in water science and engineering.

When the National Science Foundation launched the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, it sought to broaden the geographical distribution of federal funding for academic research and development. Since 1985, Vermont EPSCoR has worked to develop our state’s ability to conduct nationally competitive research.

Vermont EPSCoR sponsors both implementation grants and state-laboratory partnership grants.

Vermont EPSCoR

Located in a new geoscience facility in UVM’s Delehanty Hall, iRWE is equipped with state-of-the-art microbiology and geochemical analysis labs.

Through iRWE, researchers in the fields of natural resources, plant and soil science, engineering, geology, and chemistry work together to understand the physical, chemical, and ecological processes that govern natural systems.
