As Rhode Island’s only public research institution, the University of Rhode Island has led the Rhode Island NSF EPSCoR program since the early 2000s. The university has helped EPSCoR researchers examine pressing issues around science, from harmful algal blooms in Narragansett Bay to microplastic pollution across state water ways, all while bringing key instrumentation into the state and developing the careers of thousands of students pursuing STEM research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
