VT-NASA EPSCoR*

The NASA Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, or EPSCoR, strengthens the research capabilities of jurisdictions that have not in the past participated equably in competitive aerospace and aerospace-related research activities. EPSCoR provides eligible jurisdictions with funding to develop a more competitive research base within their jurisdiction and member academic institutions. Seven federal agencies conduct EPSCoR programs.
