Welcome to Oklahoma EPSCoR 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).
FY 2010 DEPSCoR Solicitation: We do not expect a DEPSCoR solicitation this year since Congress has not appropriated any funds for this program for FY 2010.
Sci-Tech Student Reporting Competition Announced
The competition is open to all Oklahoma undergraduate and graduate students who have written news articles relevant to NSF-funded science areas. Submitted news stories must have been published in an Oklahoma college/university student newspaper between August 15, 2009 and March 12, 2010. Deadline for submission is March 12, 2010. The purpose of the reporting competition is to increase public awareness of the relevance of science and technology research taking place at Oklahoma colleges and universities, while encouraging outstanding student journalism. The competition is sponsored by Oklahoma EPSCoR and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Click here for more information: |
