MISSION

RESEARCH

PRESENTATIONS

The NASA EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research), provides States of modest research infrastructure with funding to develop a more competitive research base within their State and member academic institutions. A total of seven Federal agencies conduct EPSCoR programs.
The goal of NASA EPSCoR is to develop academic research activities that are long-term, self-sustaining, and nationally competitive for non-EPSCoR dollars. Nineteen States are eligible to participate in the NASA EPSCoR program.

The EPSCoR Web site is the place to visit for details about what is happening in participating states. Listed are contact names and institutions that are involved in the program.
