Welcome

This EPSCoR Reporting website, supported by NSF EPSCoR workshop funds (OIA-1208732), is a community resource where any jurisdiction can find out more about the ERcore content management system and what it can do to assist you with your NSF EPSCoR reporting. User manuals and the software module can be downloaded from the ERcore tab. This site also provides resources for collaborative support and on the News tab, jurisdictions can share their custom software improvements with the user community.

Our vision is to continue to grow the user base of the ERcore and build collaborations focused on streamlining EPSCoR reporting. Through cooperation and communication among users we will continually improve the ERcore to meet the needs of the jurisdictions ever-changing reporting requirements

The National Science Foundation (NSF or Foundation) has developed a plan outlining a framework for activities to increase public access to scientific publications and digital scientific data resulting from research the foundation funds. The plan, entitled “Today’s Data, Tomorrow’s Discoveries,” is consistent with the objectives set forth in the Office of Science and Technology Policy's Feb. 22, 2013, memorandum, "Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Research," and with long-standing policies encouraging data sharing and communication of research results.

The Masquerade module allows site administrators (or anyone with enough permissions) to switch users and surf the site as that user (no password required). That person can switch back to their own user account at any time.

This is helpful for site developers when trying to determine what a client, logged in as themselves, might see when logged into the site.

NM EPSCoR discovered this module after launching their live reporting reporting site in June of 2013. The module has proven to be invaluable in testing what various roles can see when they are logged in.

If you unselect RII Management Team, they will then be counted in the Most Senior Project Role row they selected.

ER Core only allows site administrators the ability to "Quick Add User" as there are security implications in bypassing the necessary fields required in the user profile. For those jurisdictions wishing to add "Quick Add User" to Administrative Staff Role there is a module available that will address/solve this need.

The Drupal module is called Role Delegation (https://drupal.org/project/role_delegation)
