What is Alabama EPSCoR?
ALEPSCoR is a consortium of the eight AL Ph.D. granting institutions, the AL Department of Commerce (DoC), the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, and numerous business leaders. Federal EPSCoR grants have led to new scientific discoveries, capabilities, and high-tech infrastructure in the state leading to important sustainable job growth.
We are proud to say that in 2016, ALEPSCoR developed Alabama’s first Science & Technology Plan formally adopted by the State of Alabama. Later those roadmap updates were incorporated into the Alabama Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Plan, Accelerate Alabama 2.0.
The ALEPSCoR state-funded Graduate Research Scholars Program (GRSP), designed to increase the pool of highly trained graduates available to AL industries, provides funding for graduate students performing high-tech federal EPSCoR Research, with funding leading to 259 Ph.D. and 78 MS degrees.
