  2. to advance science and engineering capabilities in EPSCoR jurisdictions for discovery, innovation and overall knowledge-based prosperity.

EPSCOR OBJECTIVES

  • to catalyze the development of research capabilities and the creation of new knowledge that expands jurisdictions' contributions to scientific discovery, innovation, learning, and knowledge-based prosperity;
  • to establish sustainable STEM education, training, and professional development pathways that advance jurisdiction-identified research areas and workforce development;
  • to broaden direct participation of diverse individuals, institutions, and organizations in the project's science and engineering research and education initiatives;
  • to effect sustainable engagement of project participants and partners, the jurisdiction, the national research community, and the general public through data-sharing, communication, outreach, and dissemination;
