The Experimental Program to Stimulate
Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is a program directed at
states that have historically received lesser amounts of R&D
funding. Through this program, states develop partnerships
between their higher education institutions, industry,
government, and others to effect lasting improvements in
their R&D infrastructure, capacity, and national
competitiveness. Maine EPSCoR at the University of Maine
oversees and implements the state's NSF EPSCoR programs.
