What is EPSCoR?

The EPSCoR program aims to enhance the science and technology capabilities in states and jurisdictions that traditionally receive fewer federal research and development (R&D) funds. 

Eligibility is limited to jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of federal R&D funding but have demonstrated a commitment to developing their research bases. Through funding projects in underrepresented jurisdictions, EPSCoR has been instrumental in fostering STEM careers and advancing science and technology for the United States on a global scale. 

The University of Iowa is eligible for EPSCoR funding from the following four federal agencies:
