What is Alabama EPSCoR?
ALEPSCoR is a consortium of Alabama’s eight Ph.D.-granting institutions, ACHE, Innovate Alabama, and EDPA. Since 2016, ALEPSCoR has been awarded 322 federal EPSCoR grants totaling more than $202M. These grants have funded discoveries and continue to support sustainable job growth in many high-tech fields across the state.
The ALEPSCoR Graduate Research Scholars Program (GRSP) supports graduate students doing federal EPSCoR research, helping to grow the pool of highly-trained graduates for Alabama industries. GRSP funding has contributed to an estimated 359 Ph.D. and 101 M.S. degrees in Alabama.
This year, ALEPSCoR developed the Alabama Science and Technology Plan: Vision 2030. The plan is a roadmap of the state’s S&T strategies and investments for high-tech growth over the next 5–7 years. Many large NSF EPSCoR research proposals (over $10M) that build Alabama’s research capacity require it
