The
Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR)
is a joint program of the National Science Foundation (NSF)
and 27 US states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The program
promotes the development of the states' science and technology (S&T)
resources through partnerships involving a state's universities,
industry, government, and the Federal research and development (R&D)
enterprise. NSF EPSCoR operates on the principle that aiding researchers
and institutions in securing Federal R&D funding will develop a
state's research infrastructure and advance economic growth.
NSF
EPSCoR's goal is to maximize the potential inherent in a state's
S&T resources and use those resources as a foundation for economic
growth.
