**(a) Continuing support for EPSCoR**
(1) **Sense of Congress** — It is the sense of Congress that—
(A) because maintaining the Nation’s scientific and economic leadership requires the participation of talented individuals nationwide, EPSCoR investments into State research and education capacities are in the Federal interest and should be sustained;
(B) EPSCoR should maintain its experimental component by supporting innovative methods for improving research capacity and competitiveness; and
(C) the Director should carry out this subsection while maintaining or increasing proposal success rates at emerging research institutions throughout the United States and without precluding access to awards for such institutions.

1 So in original. The semicolon probably should be a period.
(D) broaden STEM educational opportuni-
ties for students and faculty of HBCUs,
TCUs, and MSIs; and
(E) support the transition of students of
HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs into the STEM
workforce; 1
(c) Strategic plan
(1) In general
Not later than one year after August 9, 2022,
the Director of the Office of Science and Tech-
nology Policy, in collaboration with the head
of each Federal research agency, shall submit
to Congress a report containing a strategic
plan which reflects the plans of each Federal
research agency to increase the capacity of
HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs to compete effec-
tively for grants, contracts, or cooperative
agreements and to encourage HBCUs, TCUs,
and MSIs to participate in Federal programs.
(2) Considerations
In developing a strategic plan under para-
graph (1), the Director and the head of each
Federal research agency shall consider the fol-
lowing:
(A) Issuing new or expanding existing
funding opportunities targeted to HBCUs,
TCUs, and MSIs.
(B) Modifying existing research and devel-
opment program solicitations to incentivize
effective partnerships with HBCUs, TCUs,
and MSIs.
(C) Offering planning grants for HBCUs,
TCUs, and MSIs to develop or equip grant of-
fices with the requisite depth of knowledge
to submit competitive grant proposals and
manage awarded grants.
(D) Offering additional training programs,
including individualized and timely guidance
to grant officers, faculty, and postdoctoral
researchers at HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs to
ensure their understanding of the require-
ments for an effective grant proposal.
(E) Other approaches for making current
competitive funding models more accessible
