Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research: Workshop Opportunities (EPS): The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is a program designed to fulfill the National Science Foundation's (NSF) mandate to promote scientific progress nationwide. The EPSCoR program is directed at those jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of NSF Research and Development (R&D) funding. Twenty-five states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands currently participate. Through this program, NSF establishes partnerships with government, higher education and industry that are designed to effect lasting improvements in a region/jurisdiction's research infrastructure, R&D capacity and hence, its national R&D competitiveness. In response to the community's interest in implementing a more proactive outreach program, the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) will welcome unsolicited proposals from the EPSCoR jurisdictions for community workshops. These workshops will explore innovative ways to address multi-jurisdictional efforts on themes of regional to national importance with relevance to EPSCoR's goals/objectives and NSF's mission.
