The Oklahoma Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is funded through the National Science Foundation.  Oklahoma EPSCoR’s central goal is to increase the state’s research competitiveness through strategic support of research instruments and facilities, research collaborations, and integrated education and research programs.  Oklahoma currently has one active NSF EPSCoR Award in the form of a five year (FY 2008-2013) $15 million Research Infrastructure Improvement cooperative agreement from NSF, matched by the State Regents with an additional $5.5 million.  The scientific focus is on biofuels research with a robust educational outreach component designed to broaden participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.  The success of the National Science Foundation EPSCoR program has led to six other federal agency programs (DOD, DOE, EPA, NASA, NIH, USDA).     EPSCoR News DOE EPSCoR Implimentation Award Competiton DOE EPSCoR Lab Partnership Competiton Oklahoma Receives $15 Million Award to Boost Biofuels Research Upcoming Events and Programs
